About the style
Specialty coffee is graded on cup quality and traceable to a single origin. Washed (wet) processing removes the fruit before drying, so the bean's intrinsic, origin-driven character shines — expect clarity and cleaner acidity. This one is a medium roast from Colombia.
How to serve
Grind fresh and brew around a 1:16 ratio at 92–96°C; aim for a 2.5–3.5 minute filter brew. Lighter roasts suit pour-over; darker roasts shine as espresso.
Pairs with
Balanced cups suit almond croissants, shortbread, and morning toast.
