Blind Assessment

Balanced, richly bittersweet. Cocoa powder, prairie flowers, date, lily, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Savory-sweet structure with bittersweet acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The gently drying finish centers around notes of cocoa powder and fir.

Notes

Produced by Josué Morales of Finca La Esperanza entirely of the Villa Sarchi variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Certified USDA Organic.

Bottom Line

A straightforward Guatemala cup with inviting cocoa notes, deep fruit and gently sweet florals.
