this is a washed caturra from tolima, colombia, roasted by sk coffee in whittier. tolima sits in the central andes, and the washed process strips away the fruit skin and pulp before drying, which tends to produce a clean, bright cup with clear acidity. that shows up here in the tasting notes: lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest. the profile is citrus-forward and likely on the lighter, crisper side. it suits brew methods that highlight clarity and acidity, so a pour-over or aeropress with filtered water just off the boil will let those bright notes come through without muddying them.
