Blind Assessment

Lush, fruit-driven and deeply sweet. Raspberry preserves, ripe plum, cocoa nib, orange blossom and dark honey in aroma and cup. Bright, juicy acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is long and resonant, with raspberry preserves, cocoa nib and dark honey notes.

Notes

This coffee earned Finalist recognition in the Traditional Natural category, U.S. division, of the inaugural Kenneth Davids Cup. Produced by Doña Francisca and Oscar Chacon of Finca Las Lajas, entirely of the Caturra variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit).  Magnolia Coffee is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based specialty roaster whose mission is to use sustainably sourced coffees to make a difference in the lives of coffee workers and to foster a socially conscious community with cause-supporting coffees.

Bottom Line

A sumptuous Costa Rica natural that layers ripe berry and stone fruit with chocolate, florals and honeyed sweetness in a beautifully balanced, full-bodied cup.
