Mexico - Bankilal

bankilal is a medium roast from west berkshire roastery, grown in costa rica with caturra, bourbon, and typica varieties and processed using the honey method, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying. the result is a naturally sweet, textured cup with raisin and honeycomb up front, a milk and dark chocolate body, and a lingering sweetness. at a medium roast it sits comfortably between filter and espresso. for filter brewing, use a mid-range temperature around 93c to keep the honey and chocolate notes clean. as espresso, it pulls a rich, rounded shot without needing much adjustment.
