Brent had been raving about the Spotted Cow Gelato and Espresso for a bit prior, which intrigued me after my visit to Hawai'i and the surprising quality of the coffee from a gelato place there. So, he surprised me by bringing a bag roasted on the prior day, in a spectacularly unlabelled bag, as you can see below. This was from the Huila region in Colombia, a region which apparently wasn't traditionally known for coffee (as a colleague from Colombia tells me), but it seems to be getting increasingly more popular, as we have tried multiple coffees from there.
There is no substitute for fresh coffee, and you can see the massive bloom on this one, that let us know that we were in for a treat.

Crisp bite nice balance to the nutty, midlevel, rounding out in the end to a floral or fruity tone. For a gelato place, this is some pretty serious coffee.
