Blind Assessment

Floral, citrusy, delicate yet deeply sweet. Honeysuckle, blood orange, sugar cane, nougat, cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with high-toned, juicy acidity; plush, lively mouthfeel. The crisp finish centers around notes of honeysuckle, blood orange and cocoa nib.

Notes

Produced by Deiro Garcia in Colombia at Finca Lord Baltimore entirely of the Ethiopia landrace Papayo variety, and fermented in the whole fruit inside a hermetically sealed vessel, making it one version of what the coffee industry has come to call “anaerobic” or limited-oxygen processing. Paradise Roasters specializes in micro-lot Arabica and Robusta coffees from Asia and other emerging origins. The company prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.

Bottom Line

A bright, richly aromatic Colombia cup from a rare tree variety worth seeking out: intricately balanced, exceptionally high-toned, both rich and delicate.
