ballast espresso is a medium-dark roast from mothership coffee, sourced from the san martín region of peru. the beans are caturra and typica varietals, processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup. expect caramel sweetness up front, with milk chocolate body and a darker chocolate finish that sits well with the added weight of a medium-dark roast. built for espresso, it pulls a balanced shot with enough sweetness to hold up in milk-based drinks, though it works equally well as a straight double.
