Blind Assessment

Candy-like, chocolaty. Jolly Roger candy, baking chocolate, bay leaf, crisped rice, cedar in aroma and cup. Tart-leaning structure with brisk acidity; full, satiny mouthfeel. Crisply tart finish with fruit and aromatic wood impulses.

Notes

Produced by Jairo Arcila and Cofinet of Finca Santa Monica entirely of the Castillo variety of Arabica, and processed by an experimental fruit maceration process in which the whole fruit is first fermented in an anaerobic (limited oxygen) environment with wine yeasts and macerated fruit. After fermentation, the coffee cherries are pulped and placed to dry on raised beds with macerated fruits until the ideal moisture content is achieved. Founded in 2013, modcup coffee focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees. Visit modcup.com for more information.  

Bottom Line

A very sweet experimental Colombia cup that suggests the flavor of certain hard candies, complicated by a pleasing tartness and crisp, bracing chocolate.
