How is Manzanita - Jorge Rojas grown and processed?

brew methods that favor clarity, such as pour-over, work well here because they let the citrus acidity and jasmine florals come through clearly. keep water temperature around 90-94°c and avoid over-extraction, which can push the bright citrus notes into bitterness.
