Blind Assessment

Nuanced, enigmatic. Clove, dark chocolate, macerated kiwi, roasted hazelnut, tarragon in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Spice-toned finish with chocolate and kiwi accents.

Notes

Produced by husband and wife Galo Morales and Maria Alexandra Rivera and their family at Finca Cruz Loma, entirely of the Sidra variety of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic washed method, in which the fermentation step occurs in a hermetically sealed vessel before the beans are washed and dried.

Bottom Line

Equal parts, sweet, tart and savory, this washed anaerobic Ecuador leads with notes of warming spices, tart fruit, and complex florals.
