las terrazas del pisque is a multi-varietal coffee from pichincha, ecuador, blending caturra, pacamara, and bourbon. it's put through an experimental process, which tends to produce more pronounced, unconventional flavour development than washed or natural methods. in the cup expect citrus brightness from lemon and grapefruit, a dry, structured quality from black tea, and a softer sweetness of honey and honeycomb. that balance of acidity, tannin-like dryness, and gentle sweetness suits filter brewing, where the tea-like clarity comes through cleanly. use a medium-fine grind, water around 93c, and a slow pour to let the citrus and floral honey notes separate.
