Peru - Chilchos Valley - Direct Trade

this is a washed typica from chilchos valley, peru, roasted by missing bean on turl st. the washed process keeps things clean and defined, letting the typica varietal express itself with relatively low noise. expect milk chocolate and dark chocolate in the cup, making it straightforward and approachable without being bland. it's a solid everyday drinker that works well as filter or espresso. for filter, use a medium-coarse grind and water around 93c to draw out the chocolate body without bitterness. as espresso, a slightly longer ratio will keep it smooth rather than harsh.
