santa felisa red typica is a washed guatemalan coffee from red whale coffee, grown from the typica varietal, one of the oldest and most genetically stable arabica cultivars. the washed process keeps the cup clean and straightforward, letting the bean itself lead. expect caramel sweetness up front, moving through milk chocolate into a darker cocoa finish. because the flavour profile is structured but not sharp, it suits filter brewing well, where clarity and sweetness come through without interference. grind medium-fine for pour over or medium for batch filter, use water around 92-94°c, and dial in your ratio to around 1:16.
