costa rica rfa is a washed caturra from the west valley region, roasted by q roasters pty ltd. the washed process keeps things clean and bright, letting the caturra variety express its natural acidity clearly. expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with tropical fruit underneath and a jasmine, floral quality that lifts the cup. caramel rounds out the finish without adding weight. this kind of clean, citrus-forward profile works well as a pour over or filter brew, where clarity and acidity can develop fully. keep your water around 92-94°c and a medium-fine grind to avoid flattening the brighter notes.
