this washed peru from the cajamarca region is grown with caturra and typica varietals, two of the more traditional arabica cultivars you'll find at altitude in south america. the washed process keeps things clean and bright, which shows in the cup: expect lemon and grapefruit up front, a background of citrus zest, and a finish that moves into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond. it's a well-structured coffee that rewards filter brewing, where the acidity and sweetness can open up properly. pour over or batch brew will give you the clearest read on what it's doing.
