Blind Assessment
Delicately sweet and balanced with a subtle hint of fermented fruit. Peach, sweet chocolate, sandalwood, honeysuckle, almond in aroma and cup. Gently and sweetly bright in structure; light yet satiny in mouthfeel. Quiet but resonantly long finish: peach, chocolate, almond.
Notes
Produced by Juan Luis Barrios Ortega from trees of the Bourbon-derived Pache variety of Arabica. Processed by the dry or “natural” method, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or "washed" coffees. Chocolate Fish is a distinguished New-Zealand-inspired micro-roaster based in Sacramento California, focused on the best in both quality and integrity.Visit www.chocolatefishcoffee.com or call 916-451-5181 for more information.
Bottom Line
Delicate and graceful, yet authoritative in character; seductively sweet.
