Blind Assessment: Richly floral, crisply spice-toned. Bergamot, ginger blossom, cocoa nib, sandalwood, cashew butter in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with bright, lovely acidity; viscous, silky mouthfeel. Resonant, long, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes: Produced at Finca Lugmapata entirely of the Typica Mejorado variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method. Genetic testing suggests that the Typica Majorado is not a Typica variety, but shares Bourbon and Ethiopia ancestry. Paradise Roasters specializes in micro-lot Arabica and Robusta coffees from Asia and other emerging origins. Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.
The Bottom Line: An elegant, rich, deep-toned Ecuador cup driven by floral and spice notes, with an especially bright, balanced acidity.
