la virgen is a washed caturra from huila, colombia, roasted to a medium-dark level by artisan roast leith walk. huila is one of colombia's most consistent producing regions, and the washed process keeps the cup clean and fruit-forward. expect citrus across the board, lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, alongside red apple, then milk and dark chocolate with a background note of almond. the medium-dark roast means it holds up well with milk but is worth trying black first. espresso and stovetop brewing suit the roast level, though a french press or filter will show off the fruit clarity.
