  I recently enjoyed a pourover of Cueva de los Llanos coffee from Haute Coffee in Concord, MA.
  
  The pourover showcased a notable smoothness and a well-balanced flavor profile. The acidity was pleasantly low, allowing the other flavors to shine through without overwhelming the palate. I detected subtle hints of strawberry, caramel, brown sugar, black tea, and pineapple, adding complexity layers to the cup.
  
  Comparing this pourover to the information provided by Counter Culture, it aligns with the expected characteristics of a light roast coffee from Narino. The washed process and the blend of Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia varieties contribute to the clean and crisp flavors of the coffee.
  
  I'd say the Cueva de los Llanos pourover from Haute Coffee delivered a satisfying experience, showcasing the unique qualities of this Colombian coffee. It's worth a try for coffee enthusiasts seeking a smooth and well-rounded cup and available from the Counter Culture website (at the time of this review for $23).

  Cupping Method:Pourover from Haute Coffee in Concord, MA. Drank half in the car and then poured the rest into a small glass jar (tasted better cooler and in the glass).
