Blind Assessment

Sweetly fruit-driven, gently floral. Lychee, ripe strawberry, cocoa nib, lavender, sugarcane in aroma and cup. Crisp, sweetly tart acidity; very full, satiny mouthfeel. The finish leans toward berry and cocoa nib in the short, softening to floral sweetness in the long.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, from local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Bear Lake Coffee Co., a B Corp-certified coffeehouse and roastery located in Barronett, Wisconsin, is committed to sustainability through its Coffee with a Purpose™ initiative, which ensures that farmers receive compensation well above the Fairtrade Premium for their exceptional small-batch coffee.

Bottom Line

A lively natural-processed Yirgacheffe — sweet berry and floral tones anchored by cocoa nib and sugarcane — balanced and inviting.
