2 light-roast Colombians I picked up.
The Finca Tamana is from a roaster in Oslo, Norway who is very well-known as one of the best in the 3rd Wave coffee community - Tim Wendelboe.
The company who made my Ode electric grinder, Fellow, has a program in which they offer a different specialty coffee each week, from many different roasters. They send you a text with a description of the coffee, and you can choose whether to buy some. So when I saw that they were offering one of Wendelboe’s coffees, I decided to try some, as I’ve heard him mentioned by James Hoffman, who had good things to say about him.
Typically, the Nordic style of coffee is roasted very lightly, and though this is definitely a light roast, after brewing 2 pourovers and one espresso shot, I don’t find that it’s exceptionally light compared with other light roasts I’ve had.
It’s very, very good. Light, sweet, and sophisticated, it’s what you’d expect of a high quality, washed coffee. Today, I noticed notes of bergamot. It’s a single-origin:
When done right, coffee blends create a kind of harmony that single-origin coffees cannot often mimic.

The Junto, on the other hand, is also a Colombian light roast, but it’s honey-processed. That is a type of natural, as opposed to washed, processing method.

It’s very sweet, fruity, and juicy. A very, very interesting coffee. This one, I picked up from a Nashville coffee shop called Dose Coffee & Tea. They don’t roast themselves, but they feature different roasters from month to month.
I’m very glad I stopped in and bought this one. It’s one of my favorite coffees I’ve ever had for pourover, despite the fact that it’s a blend and not a single-origin.
