sulawesi toraja rto is a washed indonesian coffee from the toraja region of sulawesi, grown from pacamara and bourbon varietals. the washed process keeps things clean and bright, letting the citrus side show clearly, lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with milk chocolate and dark chocolate rounding out the finish. it sits in an interesting middle ground, citrus-forward but grounded by cocoa, so it rewards brewing methods that highlight clarity and acidity. filter brewing works well here, a v60 or similar will keep the fruit notes defined while letting the chocolate body come through without muddiness.
