Red Orchid is our top contender for the smoothest and most flavorful cup of black coffee you can get your hands on. This Castillo variety is medium roasted and originates from Bolivar, Colombia. The careful washing and roasting process results in an incredibly well-balanced cup of coffee with hints of chocolate, sugar cane, and orange.
This coffee is cultivated at a higher altitude than others, reaching 6,900 feet above sea level. Coffee grown at higher altitudes is generally considered to be of higher quality. This is because coffee plants that grow at higher elevations are exposed to cooler temperatures, slowing the ripening process and allowing the coffee cherries to develop more complex flavors.
picked up a bag of this the other day and it made for a great Saturday morning! The chocolates were smooth and the citrus added a welcomed sweetness.
I was surprised at how much better this is than the highly rated brand I usually buy. It is extremely smooth, there is no bitterness at all, and the flavor is wonderful without adding anything to it.
The hint of orange is a great change of pace. I like unique flavor profiles like this one
They must be right higher altitude, higher quality coffee. My new go to flavor
