Blind Assessment: Fruit-centered, chocolaty, balanced. Lychee, cocoa nib, lavender, nutmeg, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweetly savory with juicy acidity; round, viscous mouthfeel. Long, lingering, flavor-saturated finish with pretty notes of lychee and cocoa nib supported by lavender.

Notes: Produced by Rigoberto Herrera of Granja La Esperanza, entirely of the Sidra variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Founded in 2013, modcup coffee focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees. Visit modcup.com for more information.

The Bottom Line: A spice-toned Colombia Sidra cup that evokes the tropics with its lyrical fruit tones throughout — juicy, vivacious, very sweet.
