Blind Assessment
A big, deep, simple gesture of a coffee. Roundly resonant aroma with fresh-cut cedar and semi-sweet chocolate notes. Reveals a slight bitter edge in the cup, but remains fundamentally deep, rich and full-bodied, complicated by continuing cedar and raisin-toned dark chocolate notes.
Notes
Tres Rios, on the outskirts of the Costa Rican capital San Jose, is one of the classic Costa Rican growing regions. The Wood-Fire Roasted Coffee Company roasts, of course, on a machine that uses oak wood as a heat source. Nominated by reader Matt Mathavorn. Visit
