costa rica finca carrizal is a caturra varietal grown in costa rica and roasted by the wood roaster. it's processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which adds sweetness and body to the cup. expect red apple and stone fruit up front, with honey and honeycomb running through the finish. it brews well as a filter or pour over, where the clarity of the fruit notes and the natural sweetness from the honey process can come through cleanly. keep water around 90-93°c and use a medium-fine grind to avoid muddying the lighter fruit character.
