Blind Assessment

Crisply chocolaty, sweetly herb-toned. Cocoa nib, orange zest, fennel, red apple, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with citrusy acidity; very full, satiny mouthfeel. The finish leads with notes of cocoa nib and orange zest.

Notes

Produced by Don Fernando Lima of Finca Santa Elena entirely of the big-beaned Pacamara variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan that offers both retail and wholesale coffee. For more information, visit www.gkcoffee.com.tw or email [email protected]

Bottom Line

A balanced, crisply sweet, chocolate- and citrus-driven El Salvador Pacamara cup.
