el huabal is a washed peruvian coffee from café even, built from three classic varietals: caturra, bourbon, and typica. the washed process keeps things clean and bright, letting the citrus side of the cup come through clearly, with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front and tropical fruit and jasmine adding some lift. milk and dark chocolate round out the finish, giving it enough body to stay balanced. it pulls well as a filter, where the acidity stays defined, but the chocolate base means it also holds up as an espresso if you dial the grind coarser and watch your extraction temperature.
common questions
What does El Huabal taste like?
expect a bright, citrus-forward cup with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest alongside tropical fruit and jasmine florals. milk and dark chocolate provide a grounding finish that keeps the acidity from feeling sharp.
How is El Huabal grown and processed?
it's grown in peru using caturra, bourbon, and typica varietals, then processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying and produces a cleaner, more acidic cup.
How should I brew El Huabal?
filter brewing, such as pour-over or drip, suits this coffee well because it highlights the citrus acidity and floral notes from the washed process. if pulling it as espresso, expect the chocolate notes to come forward more prominently.
