this is a washed coffee from sk coffee, sourced from the kivu region of the democratic republic of the congo and grown alongside coffee-producing neighbors rwanda, burundi, and uganda. the caturra and bourbon varietals are washed processed, which strips away the fruit and highlights the bean's cleaner, more delicate character. in the cup it reads like black tea, light and dry with a tea-like structure rather than heavy sweetness or bold fruit. it suits brew methods that keep things clean and clear, such as a pour over or filter, where that tea-like quality can come through without being muddied.
