you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is c4113 坦尚尼亞 吉利⾺札羅 pb ⽔洗 中焙, a tanzania from fooki coffee roasters.
expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with milk chocolate and dark chocolate rounding out the finish. the washed processing keeps the cup clean, so those flavors come through without much muddiness.
the coffee comes from the kilimanjaro region of tanzania and is a peaberry selection, meaning each bean is a single rounded seed rather than the usual flat pair. it is processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying and produces a cleaner, more defined flavor profile.
filter or pour-over brewing works well for this medium-roast washed coffee, as those methods preserve the clean, bright citrus character and let the chocolate notes develop without overextraction. keep water temperature around 90 to 94 degrees celsius to avoid muting the acidity.
fooki coffee roasters takes roasting seriously. not as a talking point, but as the actual work. tucked into lane 63 off huaide street in nantun district, it's the kind of address you'd only find if someone told you about it first, which is probably how you ended up here. taichung's specialty scene has been growing fast enough that a lot of places coast on the momentum, fooki doesn't seem interested in that. the regulars who keep coming back aren't easily impressed, and nantun isn't a neighborhood that rewards half-measures. whatever's in your cup on a given afternoon started as a considered decision somewhere earlier in the process, and that sequence matters. come for the filter.
