Costa Rica Hacienda La Union Natural ESPRESSO

this is a natural-processed espresso from hacienda la union in costa rica, sourced from a cup of excellence lot by passport specialty coffee. drying the coffee with the fruit intact gives it a sweeter, fruitier character than washed costa ricans, showing up here as stone fruit, peach, and sugar cane. it pulls well as espresso, where pressure and concentration bring out the sweetness, but the fruit-forward profile also works in a moka pot or aeropress if you prefer something short and sweet. dial in on the lower end of your usual dose to keep the fruit clear rather than heavy.
