Blind Assessment

Tropical, high-toned. Star jasmine, passionfruit, clove, pink peppercorn, cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Bright, juicy, layered acidity; buoyantly silky mouthfeel. Complex, expressive finish with passionfruit and cocoa nib notes front and center, complicated by a sweet clove throughline.

Notes

Produced by Nestor Lasso and Jhoan Vergara at Peñas Blancas Coffee Mill, entirely of the Java variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Bear Lake Coffee Co., a B Corp-certified coffeehouse and roastery located in Barronett, Wisconsin, is committed to sustainability through its Coffee with a Purpose™ initiative, which ensures that farmers receive compensation well above the Fairtrade Premium for their exceptional small-batch coffee.

Bottom Line

A gorgeous example of a natural-processed Colombia Java — tropical fruit and floral notes are grounded by rich cocoa nib and mesmerizing clove notes throughout the cup.
