Blind Assessment: Brightly sweet-tart; juicy and complex. Goji berry, dark chocolate, nutmeg, dark caramel, gardenia in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with winy acidity; very full, creamy mouthfeel. Long, lingering fruit-forward finish with deep chocolate undertones.
Notes: Produced By Alejo Khale Castroat of Volcan Azul entirely from trees of the San Isidro (Sarchimor) variety of Arabica, and processed by the red honey method, in which the skins are removed from the fruit but the fruit flesh is allowed to dry on the beans. Roasted at PT’s Coffee, where the motto is “without the love, it’s just coffee.” Visit www.ptscoffee.com or call 888-678-JAVA for more information.
The Bottom Line: A rich-toned, multi-layered red honey from Costa Rica: bright, deep, juicy, high-toned.
