guatemala + costa rica coffee
by lilo coffee roasters · osaka, japan
you'll taste red apple before stone fruit. this is 【in the coffee kyoto】紅玉散歩 / apple stroll, a washed guatemala + costa rica from lilo coffee roasters.
the coffee is described as having red apple and stone fruit character. the washed process typically keeps the cup clean and bright, so those fruit notes tend to be defined rather than jammy.
the beans come from guatemala and costa rica and are processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit skin and pulp are removed before the beans are dried.
at a medium roast, this coffee works well with filter methods like pour-over or drip, which highlight the clean, fruit-forward character that the washed process produces. avoid very high brew temperatures, which can tip bright acidity into harshness.
