peru gilmer cordova-mejia is a single-producer washed caturra from cajamarca, peru, roasted by french truck coffee. the washed process keeps the cup clean and bright, letting the caturra varietal show its character: jasmine and floral aromatics up front, settling into brown sugar sweetness and a finish that moves between milk chocolate and darker cocoa. it suits brewing methods that highlight clarity and sweetness, pour-over being the natural fit. use a medium-fine grind, water around 93-96c, and a slow, even pour to keep the floral notes intact without muddying the chocolate base.
