zinule #1 is a washed sl-28 from uganda, roasted by fountain rock coffee roasters. sl-28 is a varietal more commonly associated with kenya, so finding it in uganda is relatively uncommon and worth paying attention to. the washed process removes the fruit before drying, which keeps the cup clean and lets the bean's inherent character come through. expect caramel sweetness with the clarity that washed coffees typically deliver. it suits filter brewing well, where a slower extraction can highlight that sweetness without muddying it. keep your water around 93-96°c and aim for a medium-fine grind if you're pouring by hand.
