Blind Assessment
Sweet-toned, roundly pungent. Brown sugar, ripe cantaloupe, fresh-cut fir, violet-like flowers in aroma and cup. Plump, balanced acidity; full, velvety mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a lightly drying finish.
Notes
This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Produced in the southern Colombia Department of Huila, one of the most respected of Colombia growing regions. Daktari Coffee was founded by Dr. Bob Arnot, who has been involved in East Africa for over 45 years as a physician, humanitarian and journalist and has embraced coffee as a sustainable means of development. Daktari uses sophisticated analytical chemistry to identify roast profiles aimed at retaining compounds assumed to be most health-enhancing in each coffee.
