Blind Assessment

Quietly complex, tropical-leaning. Guava, macadamia cocoa nib, orange blossom and tangerine in aroma and cup. Bright, gently juicy acidity; smooth, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is balanced and lingering, carrying soft tropical fruit and cocoa notes.

Notes

Produced by Isaias Gomez Viquez of Finca El Centro and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Achilles Coffee Roasters is a San Diego-based specialty roaster. Visit www.achillescoffeeroasters.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A polished Costa Rica coffee that balances subtle tropical fruit with creamy nut and deep cocoa notes in a composed, quietly elegant profile.
