Blind Assessment

Crisp, delicate, sweetly herbaceous. Roasted cacao nib, lemon verbena, almond brittle, date, freesia-like flowers in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with bright, citrusy acidity; delicate, silky mouthfeel. The resonant finish is crisply sweet and richly drying, with notes of lemon verbena and cocoa nib.

Notes

Produced by Hugo Chavez Mendez from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and  Mundo Novo varieties of Arabica. This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Soul Work Coffee focuses on sourcing exceptional coffees and meticulously roasting them for memorable sensory experiences. Visit www.soulworkcoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A bright, crisp, cocoa-toned Guatemala coffee with a throughline of sweet herbs suggesting a fragrant lemon verbena.
