Blind Assessment

Very sweet, lyric, juicy. Honey, peach, caramel, honeysuckle-like flowers, fresh-cut cedar in aroma and cup. Delicately and sweetly bright acidity; very silky, buoyant mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates around peach and caramel in a continuing sweet-toned finish.

Notes

This coffee was processed using the honey method, which means that the outer skin is removed as it is in the wet process, but at least some of the sticky fruit residue is allowed to dry on the bean and later removed by machine along with the parchment skin. The delicacy and brightness of this sample suggest that quite a bit of the fruit pulp was removed before drying, although this impressive characteristic may also relate to variety, as this lot was produced entirely from trees of the local Villa Sarchi variety of Arabica, a mutant of the heirloom Bourbon variety that was first selected in the West Valley region. Spyhouse Coffee Roasting emphasizes building relationships within and around the coffee community through passion and knowledge.

Who Should Drink It

Those who enjoy sweetness and delicacy without simplicity.
