Blind Assessment
Tropical, deeply sweet-tart. Passionfruit, lemon verbena, cane sugar, bay leaf, cedar in aroma and cup. Crisply high-toned acidity; very full, satiny mouthfeel. Lemon verbena and bay leaf remain in the pleasing finish.
Notes
Produced by Elmer and Juan Restrepo of Finca Chambaku, and processed by a proprietary natural yeast method called Lactic K, which involves whole-cherry fermentation with an added culture of lactic acid bacteria and water kefir. Established in 2010, Red Rooster is an organic-certified micro-roaster focusing on socially conscious, high-quality coffee. Visit redroostercoffee.com or call 540-745-7338 for more information.
Bottom Line
A nuanced, multi-layered, experimentally processed Colombia that surfaces tropical fruit notes and sweet herbs with a throughline of decadent cane sugar.
