micepa is a caturra varietal from costa rica, processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. this produces a cup that sits between washed clarity and natural sweetness, showing caramel, honey, honeycomb, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and baking spice. the sweetness is structured rather than jammy, with a spice edge that keeps it interesting. it suits filter brewing well, where the honey process character has room to open up, though it also pulls cleanly as espresso if you want something with body and sweetness built in.
