Blind Assessment

Sweetly fruity, cocoa-toned. Dried nectarine, cocoa powder, fresh-cut maple wood, orange zest, thyme in aroma and cup. Brisk acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Sweetly savory finish centered around notes of cocoa powder and thyme.

Notes

Produced by Danilo Salazar of Finca San Cristobal, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster in Portland, Maine that also operates three coffee shops in Portland. For more information, visit www.coffeebydesign.com.  

Bottom Line

A gently fruit-forward natural-processed Costa Rica with undertones of savory herbs and bittersweet citrus notes.
