this washed peruvian comes from the cajamarca region, grown with caturra and typica varietals, two of the older, well-established cultivars in latin american coffee farming. the washed process keeps things clean and bright, which shows up clearly in the cup: lemon and grapefruit up front, citrus zest in the finish, then milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond rounding out the back end. roasted by sk coffee in whittier, it suits filter brewing well, where the citrus clarity and chocolate depth can both come through without getting muddy. a consistent, well-defined coffee for everyday filter drinking.
