Blind Assessment: Sweetly fruit- and nut-toned. Plum, pistachio, magnolia, baking chocolate, oak in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet structure with brisk acidity; velvety-smooth mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to suggestions of plum, pistachio and oak.
Notes: Certified USDA Organic and Fair Trade. From an admired growing region in the southernmost Colombia Department of Nariño and comprised of the Castillo, Caturra and Colombia varieties of Arabica; processed by the wet, or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying).
