Blind Assessment

Complex, richly sweet, fruit-toned. Apricot, orange blossom, caramel, cocoa powder, almond in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with pert acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to caramel-toned apricot and almond.

Notes

Produced by Minor Esquival Picado at Finca La Pastora from trees of the Caturra, Catuai and Typica varieties of Arabica and processed by the washed method. Atomic Coffee Roasters is a retail and wholesale coffee roaster on the North Shore of Massachusetts with a cafe in Beverly and roastery in Salem. Visit www.atomicroastery.com or call 978-910-0489 for more information.

Bottom Line

A deep, nuanced washed-process Costa Rica cup with an especially viscous yet lively mouthfeel.
