guanabana espresso is a decaf caturra from huila, colombia, processed using an anaerobic co-fermentation washed method. that controlled fermentation step pulls out pronounced fruit character, so expect red apple and peach up front, stone fruit in the middle, and a finish that moves between tropical fruit and milk and dark chocolate. because it's built for espresso, dial it in on an espresso machine or moka pot first. the fruit-forward profile means a slightly lower brew temperature, around 90-92°c, can keep the acidity bright without tipping sharp.
