Quebradon Colombian first thing in the morning.

OK people, here we go, ready yourselves for another fantastic tasting confabulation.
A new morning heralds a new tasting and todays victim is Swiss water decaffeinated Colombian coffee from the Quebradon region.

First thing to note is how dark it is roasted. It is far from being roasted to within an inch of its useful life, but usually to get the best from Colombians (the beans, not the people), they are generally roasted lighter, but not always - lets see what this one is like.

Expectedly the crema that forms is dark, the aroma is buttery, not too dissimilar to popcorn. The taste is definitely Colombian, beautifully smooth, but hang on a second - what's that overtone? It's subtle but definitely there. To me it tastes like burnt toast that's been smothered in Utterly Butterly, but in coffee it is Utterly not what it's meant to taste like. Colombian coffees should caress the palate and tantalise the tongue in a merry dance that makes one conclude that expectations can indeed be exceeded.

The search goes on in our mission to beat the Colombian from the Popyan region, but in the words of frustrated father driving his children on a clogged motorway, - 'Nope, we're not there yet'.
