this is a washed sumatra from indonesia, roasted by pirates of coffee. washed processing is unusual for sumatran coffee, and it shows, pulling the cup away from the heavy, muddy profile the region is known for and toward something cleaner. expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with black tea and herbal qualities running through the middle, and milk chocolate, dark chocolate, tobacco, and earthy tones grounding the finish. because the profile is both bright and structured, it works well brewed in ways that highlight clarity, such as pour over or french press at a medium-coarse grind.
