Produced by Richard Chuarata, this 2023 harvest represents a classic expression of the washed processing method. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward intense, fruit-forward profiles, washed coffees are typically celebrated for their ability to highlight the inherent clarity and sweetness of the bean. In this specific lot, those characteristics manifest through a balanced profile featuring notes of brown sugar, cherry, red apple, and stone fruit, complemented by the comforting sweetness of nut brittle, vanilla wafer, and chocolate.

Sourced and roasted by Passenger Coffee, this selection offers a clean, approachable cup that serves as an excellent reference point for those exploring the nuances of traditional processing.
