Blind Assessment

Exceptionally sweet, very lactic and yogurty, strikingly original in aromatics. Candied violet, clove, rose yogurt, lavender, frankincense in aroma and cup. Sweet and complexly layered in structure. Syrupy mouthfeel. Richly sweet in the finish.

Notes

Produced by Jairo Arcila of Finca Santa Monica, and processed by a controversial variation of the anaerobic method: fermented in the whole fruit in sealed tanks for 72 hours with the addition of peach pulp and wine yeasts, then pulped and dried on raised beds with peach pieces scattered among the beans. Royal Flamingo is a Columbus, Ohio-based specialty coffee roaster. Visit www.royalflamingocoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A particularly sweet anaerobic, with a distinct lactic tang and a surprising, unusual range of aromatics.
