peru, mikan is a washed caturra from cajamarca, peru, roasted by curious roo coffee roasters. the washed process keeps things clean and precise, letting the caturra variety express bright lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest upfront, with tropical fruit in the background and a winey quality that adds some complexity. milk and dark chocolate round out the finish, giving it body without heaviness. it suits filter brewing well, where those citrus and fruit notes have room to open up, though it can handle a well-dialed espresso if you prefer a shorter, more concentrated cup.
