Blind Assessment

Fruit-forward, balanced and juicy. Dried apricot, dark chocolate, pink grapefruit zest, hazelnut brittle, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with brisk acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The resonant finish leads with notes of dried apricot and hazelnut.

Notes

Produced at Finca Mirazu, entirely of the SL28 variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Coffeeland is a specialty coffee roastery with two locations, one in Chia-Yi, Taiwan, and one in Ontario, California. Visit www.coffeeland.com/tw.  

Bottom Line

Produced from trees of the admired SL28 variety, originating in Kenya but grown in Costa Rica, here processed by the natural method: juicy, chocolaty, citrusy and deep.
