finca pampojilá is a naturally processed light roast from the atitlán region of guatemala, roasted by conscious cup coffee roasters in crystal lake. the natural process, where coffee cherries dry whole, pushes forward fruit-forward and sweet characteristics, and here that means lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest alongside tropical fruit. a layer of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond keeps things grounded. at this roast level, filter brewing methods, such as pour over or aeropress, will let the citrus brightness and fruit clarity come through cleanly without muddying the lighter body.
