Blind Assessment

Expressive and layered. Blackberry, pineapple taffy, violet, bay leaf, and dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Juicy-bright acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish lingers with berry sweetness and rich chocolate notes.

Notes

Produced by Ernesto Menendez of Finca Las Brumas, entirely of the SL28 variety of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic natural method, in which the whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying. Caoban Coffee is a specialty roaster and cafe based in Taipei. Visit Caoban's Facebook page for more information.

Bottom Line

A confidently processed SL28 from El Salvador that balances anaerobic fruit intensity with structure and depth, delivering a saturated yet elegantly composed cup.
