Blind Assessment

Complex, multi-layered. Pomegranate, red wine barrel, rhododendron, kefir, kumquat in aroma and cup. Brisk acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Finish leads with notes of wine barrel and kefir.

Notes

Produced by Denise Bustamonte, entirely of the Robusta species, and processed by the anaerobic natural method, in which the whole fruit is fermented in tanks with limited oxygen before drying, also in the whole fruit. In this case, lactic acid was added to the fermentation step. Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed.

Bottom Line

An anaerobic natural Ecuador characterized by tart fruit, sweet floral and rich bittersweet citrus notes — intentional sweet ferment adds depth and complexity.
