Los Ramirez Espresso

los ramirez espresso is a washed typica from guatemala, roasted by heilandt in cologne's belgisches viertel. washed processing removes the fruit skin and pulp before drying, which tends to produce a clean, grain-defined cup that highlights the typica variety's natural character. typica is one of the oldest arabica cultivars, generally associated with delicate structure and clarity. pull it as espresso, where the pressure and concentration will bring out whatever sweetness and acidity the washing process has preserved. grind fine, dial in extraction time carefully, and expect a cup that rewards precision over volume.
