Blind Assessment: Gently fruit-toned, harmonious and balanced. Strawberry, almond nougat, sandalwood, narcissus, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with juicy, bright acidity; vibrant, syrupy mouthfeel. Nicely composed finish centered around strawberry and sandalwood notes.

Notes: This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 25 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2021. Produced and roasted by the Meza family at Finca Tasta, a 56-acre farm in Peru that has 19 acres cultivated with coffee and 22 acres of forest preserve.  This coffee consists entirely of the bold-beaned Pacamara variety of Arabica and is processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). International shipping available. Visit www.fincatasta.com for more information.

The Bottom Line: A pretty, berry-driven, richly sweet-tart Pacamara processed by the natural method.
