the union no.4 is a washed blend from coaltown coffee roasters, drawing on beans from kenya and uganda. the washed process strips away the fruit skin and pulp before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup. expect blackcurrant acidity alongside cocoa depth, a combination that works well as a filter or as espresso pulled with a little restraint. grind fresh, use water around 93-96°c, and give it enough contact time to let the acidity and chocolate character balance out rather than one overpowering the other.
