Buying advice

Brew light in a pour-over to keep the fruit. Avoid dark roast, which kills the signature acidity. Not a milk drinker's first pick.

FAQ

Why so bright?

Varietal and double fermentation build grapefruit acidity.

Best roast?

Light to medium; dark hides the fruit.

With milk?

The acidity clashes - drink it black.
