this is a washed guatemalan coffee from huehuetenango, grown on caturra and bourbon varieties and roasted to a medium level by rum baba coffeeroasters. the washed process keeps things clean and defined, letting the red apple acidity come through clearly alongside caramel sweetness and layered chocolate, moving from milk to dark. at medium roast it sits in a versatile middle ground, so it pulls well as filter or espresso. for filter, aim for a medium-fine grind and water around 93c to keep the fruit and sweetness balanced without pushing bitterness.

about rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east
