for the wind is a washed bourbon from burundi, roasted by dark arts coffee. washed processing strips the cherry cleanly before drying, which tends to sharpen acidity and keep the cup clear, and that shows here. expect lemon and grapefruit up front, citrus zest through the middle, and a finish that moves toward black tea and a winey depth. it suits filter brewing, where the lighter body and bright acidity can open up fully. grind medium-fine for pour-over and keep water around 93-94°c to avoid pushing the citrus into sharpness.
