EXP033: BAKLAVA

WHY THIS COFFEE?

We're excited about this washed caturro amarillo (yellow caturra, maybe a new varietal for you!) from Maria Estela. It has a clean, expressive profile that fits the experimental lineup well: distinctive enough to feel special, but still approachable for everyday brewing. Expect flavors that lean toward almond, honeycomb, lemon.
