Blind Assessment
A tribute to classic balance: pure but substantial, quietly intense without extremes. Gently acidy, deeply rich, discreetly complicated by tightly laced notes of leather, chocolate and fruit.
Notes
La Minita is among the world's most admired coffee farms. Proprietor William McAlpin was a pioneer in the practice of branding and marketing fine specialty coffee by estate or farm rather than region or type. Kaffé Magnum Opus is a wholesaler and Internet retailer of quality specialty coffee. Visit
