this is a single origin washed coffee from the bugisu region of uganda, produced by altura coffee company. the washed process strips the cherry cleanly before drying, which tends to sharpen acidity and clarity in the cup. expect bright citrus flavors, lemon and grapefruit up front with a citrus zest edge, a winey quality that adds some fruit depth, and a chocolate finish that moves from milk to dark. the brightness makes it well suited to filter brewing, where the citrus and winey notes have room to open up, though it can hold its own as an espresso if you dial in a slightly longer extraction to balance the acidity.
