Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet, cocoa-toned. Cocoa powder, orange zest, almond, freesia, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with brisk acidity; lightly satiny mouthfeel. The quiet finish leads with cocoa and almond notes.

Notes

Produced at Finca La Rivense, from trees of the Caturra and Catuai varieties of Arabica, and processed by the honey method (coffee fruit is pulped or skinned but dried in the fruit flesh). Bargain Cafe is a specialty coffee roaster in Taitung, Taiwan. Visit shopee.tw/iamjiter for more information.

Bottom Line

A friendly, accessible cocoa- and nut-toned honey-processed Costa Rica cup.
