{"product_id":"colombia-santa-barbara-estate-washed","title":"Colombia - Santa Barbara Estate - WASHED","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis washed Colombian coffee from Santa Barbara Estate in Antioquia brings the kind of approachable sweetness that makes specialty coffee feel like home. Roasted by Brandywine Coffee Roasters as part of their Comfy Coffee lineup, it's designed for accessibility without compromise—a medium roast that balances development with origin character, showcasing what makes Colombian coffee so beloved while inviting newcomers and veterans alike to settle in with a beautiful all-day cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown at elevations between 1,400 and 2,000 meters, the Castillo and Colombia varietals benefit from volcanic soil, careful tree management, and a fully integrated estate operation that ensures traceability from cherry to cup. Don Pedro Echavarria's vision nearly three decades ago was to produce superior Colombian coffee, and the Santa Barbara Estate delivers on that promise through meticulous processing, daily cup testing, and an incentive structure that prioritizes quality over volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect milk chocolate richness softened by brown sugar sweetness, with a gentle cherry brightness that never dominates. The body is round and comforting, the acidity mild and balanced—a profile that reads more like a warm conversation than a shout. The finish lingers with cocoa and caramel undertones, clean and satisfying. This is coffee that works morning to afternoon, solo or with milk, forgiving in the cup while still offering enough complexity to keep things interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBrew Methods\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coffee shines across methods. For drip or automatic brewers, it delivers consistent sweetness and body that makes it an ideal daily drinker. The Clever Dripper brings out its chocolate and cherry notes with clarity—medium-coarse grind, 300g water, 1-minute steep, quick stir, then 2.5 minutes before draining. Pour over (Chemex, V60) highlights its clean finish and balanced acidity. French press amplifies body and brings forward the brown sugar character. It's versatile enough for espresso if you prefer a softer, sweeter shot with milk drinks in mind, though it truly excels in immersion and filter methods where its accessibility and balance can fully express themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout Brandywine Coffee Roasters\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrandywine's Comfy Coffee collection focuses on roast profiles that emphasize sweetness, approachability, and all-day drinkability while maintaining the sourcing standards and quality control that define specialty coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur team at Clive can help you dial in grind settings for your equipment and recommend brew methods that bring out the best in this coffee's gentle, satisfying profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brandywine Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"12oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":43820160712792,"sku":"SBE","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":43820160745560,"sku":"SBE-2lb","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":43820160778328,"sku":"SBE-5lb","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2425\/8607\/files\/sbecomfycoffeebg2023_8bdad931-1e4e-46d9-86d8-38423e825756.jpg?v=1772477401","url":"https:\/\/clivecoffee.com\/products\/colombia-santa-barbara-estate-washed","provider":"Clive Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
