you'll taste lemon before blackcurrant. this is tanzania south aa washed, a washed tanzania from dear deer coffee roasting bar ellerslie.
expect lemon and blackcurrant up front, with caramel sweetness through the mid-palate and a finish that carries both milk chocolate and dark chocolate. the washed process keeps the cup clean and lets the acidity read clearly.
this coffee is grown in the mbeya region of tanzania using bourbon and typica varieties, and it is processed using the washed method, meaning the cherry is removed and the beans are fermented and washed before drying. the aa grade refers to a larger screen size, which is associated with more even roasting.
the washed process and clean flavour profile make this a strong candidate for filter brewing methods such as a v60, chemex, or batch brewer, where the lemon acidity and layered chocolate notes can express clearly. keep water temperature around 92 to 94 degrees celsius and a brew ratio of around 1:15 to 1:16.
