Blind Assessment
Simple, sweet, lean. Salted caramel, wheat toast, green bean, vanilla extract, plywood in aroma and cup. Flat acidity; rough mouthfeel. Sweet-savory finish with notes of salted caramel and green bean.
Notes
Purchased at a Whole Foods Market in Oakland, California. Certifications: Fair Trade USA; Non-GMO. Whole Foods Market is a retail grocer currently owned by Amazon with more than 500 stores in North America and the UK. Visit www.wholefoodsmarket.com.
Bottom Line
An uninspired, savory-leaning Colombia with offputting vegetal notes and muted sweetness.
