Blind Assessment

Vibrant, juicy, cocoa-toned. Apricot, cocoa nib, honeysuckle, hazelnut butter, cedar in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet with lively acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The resonant finish consolidates around cocoa nib and a hint of apricot.

Notes

Produced by members of the Cobán Chicoj Cooperative and processed by the red honey method, in which some fruit flesh (“honey”) was allowed to adhere to the beans during drying; certified fair-trade. Small Eyes Café is a small, family-owned coffee shop in Yilan, Taiwan, specializing in artisanally roasted specialty coffee and homemade desserts.

Bottom Line

A stone fruit and cocoa-driven Guatemala cup. Crisp, bright, vibrant, balanced.
