Blind Assessment

Floral-toned, richly nutty. Ginger blossom, hazelnut, dark chocolate, black cherry, lime zest in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with balanced, juicy acidity; plush, viscous mouthfeel. Resonant finish with notes of ginger blossom and hazelnut.

Notes

Produced at Nueva Grande Estate, entirely of the Laurina variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). David's Nose is a specialty coffee roaster based in Taipei, Taiwan whose founder studied agronomy and has a deep interest in crop quality. For more information, visit www.davidsnosecoffee.com.

Bottom Line

An energetic washed Guatemala cup characterized by spicy floral and creamy nut tones, further elevated by a dark chocolate throughline.
