CUP PROFILE: Lemon Skittles • Lemon Verbena • Honeysuckle
This coffee bursts with an unmistakable lemon-candy aroma that’s bright, transportive, and impossible to miss from the first grind. In the cup, it opens with vibrant Lemon Skittles sweetness, layered with juicy mango-tangerine citrus and a refreshing structure that keeps the brightness clean rather than sharp.
As it cools, the profile softens into delicate honeysuckle and white-floral tones, with lingering lemon zest and gentle sweetness that keeps you coming back for another sip. It’s expressive, structured, and intensely aromatic — a lively washed-style profile with a playful candy-citrus twist.
About: Kawa here:
Origin: Colombia Region: Acevedo, Huila Farm: La Soledad + La Floresta Farmer: Mario Fernando Gomez Varietal: Caturra Processing: "Washed"
From Mario: "Culturing is one of the fermentation methods used by fermentists in other foods, in which a starter base rich in microorganisms is used to transform another product. At Fincas La Soledad and La Floresta, we have applied this technique to the fermentation of our coffee through a process known as culturing, where we prepare starter cultures and then mix them with the coffee during fermentation. Additionally, we use mosto —the liquid resulting from previous fermentations—as part of the process to enrich the microbiota and add greater complexity to the coffee’s sensory profile."

Completely blew my mind. In s milk drink it reminded me of a lemon loaf but without the glaze. As a straight shot the flavors were spot on as advertised. Not a regular buy, for sure, but I loved every gram.

Always love Good Brothers coffees. This Lemon Colombia Caturra is no different. It has a great citrusy note to it.

Fantastic! This is a really special offering for lovers of lemon. On first sip, I get a crisp Meyer lemon which that quickly shifts to a pronounced lemon verbena before hitting an aftertaste of honey and general florals. Much like its namesake, this has a slightly stronger acidity than other offerings from the same farm (cotton candy, orange bourbon). I reduced my water from 203 to 200 and that was perfect to mellow out the acidity a little bit. 10/10 would buy this again!

Another delicious offering that’s been amazing in the Oxo Rapid Brewer. I get a lemon custard note that’s really fantastic. Absolutely recommend!

The aroma—yellow Starburst, straight up. Honeysuckle. Fresh squeezed lemon. It’s bright, but also soft and sweet at the same time.
First sip—boom. Lemonade.
Clean, juicy, refreshing. Then it settles into this honey sweetness with that floral honeysuckle hanging in the background.
And here’s the thing—it’s not sharp or aggressive. It’s smooth. Balanced. Super easy to drink.
This is the kind of coffee you don’t overthink. You just keep going back for another sip.
It feels like warm weather, sunlight, sitting outside… that kind of vibe.

Close your eyes and imagine holding a bowl of lemons on a breezy day in a flower garden with an ending note that's warm and nutty. these notes hold strong all through the cup.
