Blind Assessment

Sweetly and crisply floral- and fruit-toned. Roasted pineapple, honey, cashew, lavender and magnolia, baker’s chocolate in aroma and cup. In structure round, balanced, sweet with a tart/savory edge. Lightly syrupy, satiny mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates around dry, spicy chocolate in a crisp finish.

Notes

This coffee earned the highest rating in a tasting of El Salvador coffees for Coffee Review’s August 2019 tasting report. Produced by distinguished coffee grower and leader Gilberto Baraona on his farm Los Pirineos from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety. A washed-process coffee, meaning the soft fruit residue was removed from the beans before drying. Plat Coffee is a specialty roaster and café in Hong Kong.

Bottom Line

Balanced and comprehensive in structure, with a subtle but grand array of aromatics: honey-like flowers, crisp lavender-like flowers, juicy yet savory fruit (we called it roasted pineapple), nut, dry chocolate.
