this is a single-origin filter coffee from the pichincha region of ecuador, roasted by rigby roastery. it uses a blend of pink bourbon, bourbon, and typica varietals, processed through an experimental method that tends to amplify fruit and floral character. in the cup expect bright citrus, lemon and grapefruit, backed by tropical fruit, jasmine, and a tea-like quality closer to black tea. milk and dark chocolate add some body and depth to the finish. brew it with a method that lets the acidity and florals come through clearly, such as pour over or aeropress, using water around 90-93°c to avoid muting the lighter notes.
