this is a natural-processed light roast from jose gomez's farm in nariño, colombia, grown with gesha and caturra varietals. nariño sits at high altitude near the ecuadorian border, and the natural process, where the whole cherry dries around the bean, drives the raisin and dried-fruit character you'll find here alongside a strong black tea quality and clean, tea-like finish. because it's a light roast, it rewards lower brew temperatures and longer contact times. pour-over or filter methods will highlight the tea-like clarity, while a french press can bring out more of the raisin depth.
