Roaster's Notes

I recommend exploring different roasting techniques with Chachalaca. It is fantastic as an espresso or aeropress, but I would also recommend trying it in a pour over or cold format too for a different perspective of the muted acidic notes. It is super vibrant yet smooth coffee and really you cant lose no matter how it is brewed.
