Blind Assessment

Richly aromatic, tropical. Passionfruit, ginger, star jasmine, fresh-cut oak, cherry liqueur in aroma and cup. Fruity acidity; viscous, creamy mouthfeel. The spice-toned finish centers around on notes of ginger and cherry liqueur.

Notes

Produced by Wilton Benitez of La Macarena Farm, entirely of the Yellow Geisha variety of Arabica, and processed by a complexly detailed version of the double-anaerobic method (sealed-tank fermentation of the whole fruit with the addition of brewer’s yeast, removal of skin and pulp, and a second fermentation of the beans shut in the tank with the removed skin and pulp). Additional processing nuance includes a thermal shock wash (soaking the whole fruit in hot water for 30 seconds, then cold water for 30 seconds) to reduce astringency. Founded in 2013, modcup coffee focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees. Visit modcup.com for more information.

Bottom Line

This intense fruit and floral bomb, tempered only by aromatic wood notes, is interesting for its experimental processing, and offers clear appeal for devotees of fruity, floral coffees.
