this is a washed blend from aida batlle's selection in the santa ana region of el salvador, roasted by gray squirrel coffee company. the washed process keeps the cup clean and structured, and that shows in the flavour: winey and cocoa-like with a pronounced black tea quality that makes it feel dry and refined rather than sweet. it suits filter brewing well, where the tea-like characteristics have room to open up. a medium-hot brew temperature and a slightly finer grind than usual will help draw out the cocoa depth without pushing the winey edge too far forward.
