La Libertad - Peru

la libertad is a washed peruvian coffee from volcano coffee works. peru's growing regions tend to produce clean, structured cups, and the washed process here strips away the fruit skin and pulp before drying, which typically results in clarity in the cup rather than heavy body. that makes the winey character here notable, suggesting a distinct tartness and depth. it brews well with methods that highlight clarity, such as a v60 or chemex, where the winey acidity can express itself without being muddied. grind medium-fine and use water around 93c for a balanced extraction.
