This is the Washed variant of Finca Idealista's Yellow Pacamara (YPW). It is slowly and gently developed by our Roast team through a delicately handled roasting process, producing an interesting tasting note that you don't often encounter in a coffee: mint candy!
With this light roast, our Roast team highlights an aroma of white flowers and a distinctive mint-like candy on the nose. In the cup, you will get a silky mouthfeel and a tea-like finish. Try the recipes below and see if you can pick out these flavours — but as usual, we encourage you to experiment with your brew and explore how the flavours in a cup can change with as little as a click coarser or finer on your grinder!
