Blind Assessment

Crisply spice-toned. Nutmeg, clove, baking chocolate, date, fir in aroma and cup. Sweetly savory with gentle acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Wood-framed finish supported by notes of baking spices.

Notes

Produced by Don Luis Campos of Cordillera del Fuego and processed by the “thermic” method, in which beans, with skins removed, are heated with some of the fruit flesh or mucilage still adhering to them. The exposure to heat starts to break down the natural sugars of the mucilage, partially caramelizing them. Battlecreek Roasters, founded in 2019, is a Battle Creek, Michigan specialty coffee roaster that donates a portion of all sales to organizations that provide counseling to victims of human trafficking. For more information, visit www.battlecreek.coffee.

Bottom Line

Evocative of walking into an American bakery with its notes of nutmeg and clove, this Costa Rica coffee was processed by an innovative “thermic” method.
