Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Chocolate, mango and sweet lime animate this satiny bodied espresso. Impressive stone-fruit sweetness is complicated by an engaging resiny edge co-taster John DiRuocco (94) and Ken (93) both associated with mango. Mango and chocolate crisply and sweetly persist in three parts milk.
Notes
This outstanding coffee was selected as the No. 27 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024. Produced by Anny Ruth Pimentel of Finca Loma La Gloria, entirely of the Red Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Old Soul is a roastery, bakery and crafter of artisanal goods dedicated to quality in every form. Visit www.oldsoulco.com or call 916-443-7685 for more information.
Bottom Line
Resinous ripe mango and tart citrus balance the sweet fruit and chocolate in this cleanly classic natural-processed Bourbon.
