Delicate Flame

Delicate flame is an odd name, it won't burn you because it is delicate but it will leave you an amazing spicy and fresh sensation in your mouth if you ever get the privilege to taste it. This coffee has a special place for Emerson because it allowed him to get a step on the national stage, he presented this variety three years in a row getting 3rd place in 2021, 2nd in 2022 and 1st in 2023 for the best coffee in Nariño. 

Interestingly it was my least favorite of the Turpial top coffees when I tried it. It really needed to degas at least one full day to get rid of the bitterness. But once it did it was an explosion of spicy flavor and delicate fruitiness. 

2024 didn't have COE in Colombia but we are hoping we can present for the first time El Turpial coffee with Emerson and hopefully it can be with this coffee to continue its amazing competitve story. 

As with all of the four best coffees of el Turpial, we decided to choose the roaster carefully and give exclusivity for this coffee to only one roaster per country. We want el Turpial to be represented as well as possible and grow slowly to the place it deserves on the international scene.
