this is ロスマ ロスマラゴ ウォッシュト / グアテマラ, a guatemala from rec coffee josuiterrace.
specific tasting notes were not provided, but as a cup of excellence washed guatemalan pacamara roasted to medium, expect clean, well-defined flavors with the clarity and structured acidity the washed process and pacamara varietal are known for. competition selection at cup of excellence level indicates consistent quality and cup cleanliness.
this coffee is grown in guatemala using the pacamara varietal, a large-beaned hybrid cultivar, and processed using the washed method, which removes fruit before drying to produce a clean, transparent cup. it was selected as a cup of excellence lot, indicating it scored among the top-ranked coffees in a national competition.
the medium roast and washed processing make this well suited to filter methods such as pour-over or drip, which preserve the clarity and acidity the process delivers. avoid very high extraction or very coarse grinds, as medium-roasted washed coffees reward a balanced, controlled brew.
you're stepping into one of fukuoka's most serious coffee operations. rec coffee was founded by yoshikazu iwasa, a two-time japan barista championship winner, and that competition pedigree shows in how the whole place runs. expect single-origin ethiopians and kenyans on the lighter end sitting alongside medium-to-dark blends that nod to traditional japanese kissaten culture. it's that balance, third-wave technique without abandoning regional kyushu character, that makes rec stand out well beyond fukuoka.
