chx is a washed caturra blend from colombia and brazil, roasted by crankhouse coffee. the washed process keeps things clean and direct, letting the caturra varietal show its character without fermentation interference. expect stone fruit up front, with milk chocolate and darker chocolate notes rounding out the cup. it's a straightforward, well-structured coffee that works well as a daily drinker. for best results, brew as filter or espresso, dial in a medium-fine grind, and use water around 93°c to keep the fruit present without pushing the chocolate too bitter.
