    Strait is such a cool roaster. It's the opposite of some of the specialty I've been drinking, this is big, bold, funky unique, flavor, but roasted perfectly to keep it within balance.

    Pourover: Austin from Strait does pretty good tasting notes, and I definitely picked up the black plum, orange, and vanilla here. The black plum is that just ripe one that still has the acidic bite you can only get from the perfect plum. It's got some chocolate notes, a bit of funkiness, and some red wine.

    Espresso: ESPRESSO! This is remarkable as a light roast espresso. The Spanish have a drink called Tinto de Verano. That's what I get here. Tinto de verano is a light, refreshing Spanish drink made by mixing red wine with lemon soda or gaseosa, typically served over ice. It has a crisp blackberry/black plum/lemony acidity, a bit of sweet orange, and that sort of sangria/summer red wine taste note/texture.

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Colombia
Colombian coffees are known for their balanced taste, featuring bright acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including fruity notes, caramel sweetness, and nutty undertones. Colombia's worldwide reputation for producing great coffee at scale is well-deserved. Increasingly some of the best microlot specialty roasts are coming from Colombia thanks to their expertise in cultivation and process.
Bean Source Region: Cauca
Coffee from Cauca is celebrated for its exceptional quality and distinctive flavor profiles. This region's unique microclimates and high altitudes create the perfect conditions for cultivating coffee with vibrant acidity, complex fruit notes, and a smooth, velvety body. Cauca is home to some of the world's most creative and innovative coffee producers. These farmers employ cutting-edge techniques, such as extended fermentation processes and anaerobic processing, to enhance and diversify the flavors of their beans.
