this is a washed caturra and bourbon blend from jinotega, nicaragua, sourced from a cup of excellence lot and roasted by dear deer coffee roasting bar in ellerslie. jinotega's high-altitude growing conditions, reflected in the shg (strictly high grown) designation, produce dense beans with clean, defined flavour. in the cup expect stone fruit and peach up front, backed by milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and baking spice. because the washed process keeps the profile clean and fruit-forward, filter methods such as pour over or aeropress will highlight the stone fruit and spice clarity without muddying the chocolate base.
