Cabresto, Colombian

Tasting notes

Citrus / Floral / Fruity
Bright and lively, with a citrus acidity and delicate floral aromatics. Expect flavours of  sweet orange,  white blossom and brown sugar, rounded out by a clean, balanced finish. Light on the palate yet expressive, this coffee offers clarity and freshness with an easy, refined sweetness.

Origin

Cabresto comes from the Andes Mountains of Antioquia, one of Colombia’s most lush and fertile coffee‑growing regions. Grown at 1,900 masl, the high altitude slows cherry maturation, allowing sugars and acids to develop fully — a key factor behind the coffee’s brightness and aromatic clarity.
Antioquia is known for its rolling green hills, misty valleys, and long tradition of smallholder farming.

Variety

Castillo

Process

Method: Washed
The coffee is fully washed, a classic Colombian approach that highlights cleanliness and precision. By removing the fruit before drying, the process allows the inherent characteristics of the Castillo variety to shine — emphasising floral notes, citrus acidity, and a structured, balanced profile.
The result is a bright, composed coffee with a clear flavour expression, well suited to filter brewing and equally enjoyable as a lighter, nuanced espresso.

The coffee is off beautiful quality, all full, whole beans, brilliantly roasted. They taste great as espresso, sublime as flat white or iced latte. Lovely.

After being recommend to try Stewarts coffee roast, I bought the Raisin, Chocolate, Peanut espresso beans. I had regular updates from them while my beans were being roasted, packed and dispatched, with tracking available and the whole ordering process was so easy (just like it should be). On to the beans... Lightly roasted (light brown), not dark and shiny like a lot of dark-roasted beans I've tried before... and the smell when I opened the bag was incredible! Definitely the best-smelling coffee I've had. Taste-wise, I tried my usual 2-shot Americano and was very pleased with the smooth, robust taste. You can actually taste the notes described... but I wasn't "blown away" (although it was definitely up there with the best). Then I tried a quad-espresso. Espresso is what these beans are roasted for. A literal taste explosion, not bitter at all, but a delicious, nutty flavour with an overtone of peanut and chocolate and a back note of raisins. A beautiful hit of coffee on the palate. You've got yourself a subscriber.
