Peru - Chilchos Valley - Direct Trade

this is a washed typica from chilchos valley, peru, sourced direct trade by missing bean botley. the washed process removes the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup, and that shows here in a profile built around milk chocolate and dark chocolate. typica is one of the older arabica varieties, generally known for a smooth, classic character rather than sharp acidity or fruit-forward flavour. it suits filter brewing well, where the cleaner processing can express its chocolate depth without becoming heavy. grind medium-fine for pour-over or medium-coarse for a cafetière and keep your water around 93°c.
