juan peña is a light roast from ecuador, sourced and roasted by queen city coffee roasters. it's processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which tends to carry natural sweetness through to the cup. the result here is a coffee that leans into honey and honeycomb flavors, keeping things clean but distinctly sweet. because it's a light roast, filter brewing, such as a pour over or drip, will give you the clearest read on those honey notes without adding roast character.
