Blind Assessment: Bright, juicy, high-toned. Bing cherry, chocolate fudge, toffee, hop flowers, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly savory with vibrant, citrusy acidity; very smooth, satiny mouthfeel. The tart-leaning finish is rounded by sweet chocolate notes.

Notes: Produced by Andres Guaca of Finca La Bandida entirely of the rare Pink Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by fermenting whole cherries for 65 hours with the addition of lactobacilli, then drying them in the sun. Peach Coffee Roasters is an Atlanta, Georgia-based specialty roaster. Visit www.peachcoffeeroasters.com for more information.

The Bottom Line: A richly bittersweet Colombia cup processed with the addition of lactobacilli to the whole-cherry fermentation, resulting in a fundamentally sweet cup with savory undertones.
