Flying Bean Gold Dust - Colombia Huila

Roasted by Flying Bean Coffee, a specialty coffee shop and roastery in Valencia, Spain, who roast in-house (“Freshly roasted in Valencia”). “Gold Dust” is their washed Caturra from Huila — the Colombian department awarded Denomination of Origin status in 2013, and the country’s most celebrated high-altitude growing region. This bag was roasted 02 September 2026. Neither the packaging nor the roaster’s product page gives an SCA score, a roast level or an altitude.

The roaster lists Tangerine, Green Tea & Caramel (the bag’s Spanish label reads Mandarina, Té Verde & Caramelo). Expect bright but rounded citrus on the front palate, a delicate green-tea character through the middle, and caramel sweetness carrying the finish. A clean, classic washed Huila: medium body, moderate acidity, and no fermentation funk to work around. Flying Bean position it as suiting Moka, espresso and filter alike.

Profile built on the two closest matches in the database — Asprotimana Women’s Coffee and Olympia Amparo Pajoy, both Medium washed Huila lots. Constant 93.5°C throughout: washed coffees tolerate the upper end of their roast-level window, and a dense Caturra grown at typical Huila altitude needs that extraction energy. The bloom runs wide (1:2.5) and long (40s) because this bag is only ~2 weeks off roast and still degassing actively.
