Blind Assessment: Crisp, balanced, richly nut-toned. Nutella, red apple, freesia, agave syrup, cedar in aroma and cup. Very sweet in structure with brisk acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Sweetly nut-toned finish supported by freesia-like floral tones.

Notes: Produced by Kathia Zamora of Cloza Estate from trees of the Caturra and Catuaí varieties of Arabica and processed by the washed method. Souvenir Coffee, based in Berkeley, California, goes by the motto, “People first, then coffee.” Visit www.souvenir-coffee.com for more information.

The Bottom Line: A pleasing, delicately spice-toned, richly nutty Costa Rica cup, classically balanced.
