Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Richly fruit-toned, balanced. Blackberry, baker's chocolate, hazelnut butter, honey, oak in aroma and small cup. Satiny-smooth mouthfeel; crisp, resonant finish. In cappuccino-scaled milk, chocolate tones are foregrounded, supported by berry and hazelnut.

Notes

Produced by Rosevel Ortiz Escarpeta from trees of the Caturra and Castillo varieties of Arabica and processed by the natural method, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. Soul Work Coffee focuses on sourcing exceptional coffees and meticulously roasting them for memorable sensory experiences. Visit www.soulworkcoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A fruit-driven natural-processed espresso from Colombia, particularly inviting in milk.
