LA-2A is a lighter, more forward blend displaying bright acids and a medium body with floral aromas and flavours of stone fruit and blackberries and a long and fruity finish.
LA-2A has been awarded 6 times with 4 coming at the international level for both espresso and milk based categories.
Whilst LA-2A is another all-rounder and well suited to any brew method, filter, full emersion, AeroPress and moka pot are where we think it shines. These brew methods allow the delicate balance between the two origins to play out while the espresso method concentrates this balance for a more viscous liquor with stand out acids and body.
