About the coffee:

After picking only fully ripe cherries, the coffees were removed of their mucilage through mechanical washing and dried slowly for 6 days on African beds.

About the farmer:

Hacienda Copey was found in 2011 with the aim of producing hig-quality specialty coffee in the Tarrazu district of Costa Rica. They've won the Cup of Excellence twice in the past and consistently aim to produce complex coffees.

Roaster's notes:

This is our second year working with Hacienda Copey.

Clean, layered profile that starts with mango, then goes slightly sour (fuji apple) and finishes with a tart cherry/caramel sweetness. There's also a bit of a sparkling characteristic in this cup.

If you get this with the #185, you should be able to lock the commonality between the two to taste the terroir expression of Hacienda Copey.

Brewing Notes:

V60

Water temp:

90-93C

Brew recipe:

0. 18g grounds a tad coarser
1. 60mL bloom (for 40 seconds)
2. 60mL second bloom (until water drains)
3. pour to 300mL -- apply light swirls if grounds are sticking to brewer sides

Push. This is a clean washed coffee. I'd leave it alone for 4+ weeks if possible.

Rest notes:

I'd rest it 4 weeks+. We aim to roast this one light (~9-10% weight loss).
