costa rica tarrazu is a medium roast from the tarrazu region of costa rica, grown using the caturra varietal and roasted by the roasterie. in the cup it reads bright and citrus-forward, with lemon and grapefruit up front, a light citrus zest edge, and caramel rounding out the finish. the medium roast keeps acidity present without going sharp, making it a good fit for pour over or drip brewing where those citrus notes can open up cleanly. grind medium, use water around 200°f, and aim for a 3 to 4 minute brew time to balance the brightness with the caramel body.
