Blind Assessment
Bold, caramel-toned. Caramel, baker’s chocolate, cedar, black cherry, magnolia in aroma and cup. Rounded, gentle acidity; lean, satiny mouthfeel. The gently drying finish is wood-framed, with sweet notes of caramel and chocolate.
Notes
Produced from trees of the respected Catuai and Caturra varieties of Arabica at Calle Liles Farm and processed by the red honey method, which means that the outer skin is removed as it is in the wet or “washed” process, but all of the sticky fruit residue is allowed to dry on the bean and later removed by machine along with the parchment skin. Located in southwestern Colorado, Durango Coffee lays claim to a rich coffee history that dates to 1886. Its motto is “Tough Town, Great Coffee.” Visit www.durangocoffee.com or call 800-748-2275 for more information.
Bottom Line
A sweetly crisp, accessible honey-processed Costa Rica cup.
