Blind Assessment

Balanced, juicy, deep-toned. Dark chocolate, wisteria, apricot, hazelnut, coconut in aroma and cup. High-toned, sparkling acidity; very full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Long, harmonious, integrated finish that carries over the promise of the cup.

Notes

This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 13 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024.  Produced by Marta Bayter and her sons, Shady and Elias, of Vergel Estate, from trees of the Caturra variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Speedwell Coffee, based in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is a wholesale and retail specialty roaster particularly dedicated to offering attractive coffee subscription plans. For more information, visit www.speedwellcoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A flavor-saturated, chocolaty, sweetly nut- and floral-toned washed Colombia with especially vibrant acidity — balanced, bright, and an exceptional value.
