finca san josé is a cup of excellence lot from the apaneca region of el salvador, grown with red bourbon varietal and processed using the washed method. ozone coffee roasts it to a medium-dark level, which pushes the chocolate character forward, giving the cup a consistent throughline of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and cocoa. the washed process keeps things clean and defined rather than fruity or syrupy. this roast level suits espresso and moka pot well, where pressure and heat draw out the fuller cocoa body, though a french press or filter will also work if you prefer something more measured.
