Coffee Review: Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia (Light Roast)

This light roast from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region of Colombia delivers a beautifully clean and balanced cup. The first impression is invitingly aromatic, with warm notes of toasted hazelnut and a hint of raw cane sugar.

The owner even included unexpected touches like a birthday tiara and balloon! I was pleased with the experience...
