Blind Assessment
Juicy-bright, very sweet, with a tart edge. Honeysuckle, strawberry, pipe tobacco, cane sugar, bay leaf in aroma and cup. Sweetly juicy acidity; buoyant, lightly syrupy in the mouthfeel. Consolidates to florals and pipe tobacco in the long finish.
Notes
Produced by Edwin Noreña of Finca Campo Hermoso processed by a two-stage carbonic maceration method which involves fermenting the coffee, first as whole fruit, then after pulping, inside a sealed CO2-flushed tank, with strawberry and coffee must added to the tank. RamsHead Coffee Roasters is a family-owned company founded by Bozeman, Montana natives Caleb and Laura Walker that specializes in direct trade microlot coffees.

Bottom Line
An intense, lavish Colombia infused with strawberry fruit, distinct in its aromatics, with a complex tart-earthy undercurrent.
