you'll taste milk chocolate before dark chocolate. this is chaparral - colombia | decaf, a washed colombia from symva coffee roasters.
chaparral is built around milk chocolate and dark chocolate, giving it a smooth, cocoa-forward cup. the medium-dark roast keeps things rounded rather than sharp or acidic.
the coffee comes from huila, colombia, and is processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying and tends to produce a clean, clearly defined cup. it has also been decaffeinated, though no specific decaf method is listed.
a medium-dark roast suits both filter brewing and espresso, so a drip machine, french press, or espresso setup will all work well here. aim for water around 90-93°c to avoid over-extracting the darker roast.
