Balanced, crisply fruity. Black cherry, pink grapefruit zest, hazelnut, agave syrup, narcissus in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with round acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Delicately fruit-toned finish supported by hazelnut and narcissus.

Produced by the Urena Family of Finca La Guaca, from trees of the Red and Yellow Catuai varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit), Rusty Dog Coffee is a Madison, Wisconsin-based specialty coffee roaster. Visit www.rustydogcoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A delicate, balanced natural-processed Costa Rica, fruit-forward and nutty with floral undertones.
