Blind Assessment

Floral and spice grandeur in a balanced anaerobic. Big, sweet, soaring, perfumy/spicy. Coriander, loquat, marjoram, cocoa, and a range of intense, spicy flowers in aroma and cup. Quite sweet but brightly tangy in structure, with a hint of savory depth. Creamy, lively mouthfeel. The finish is resonant, balanced and lasting.

Notes

Produced by JN Farms from trees of the Red Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by a malolactic fermentation method designed by Miguel Meza, in which whole fruit is inoculated with both yeasts and malolactic bacteria, then fermented in anaerobic conditions for about a week before fruit and pulp are removed and the beans are dried in the fruit flesh or mucilage. Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.

Bottom Line

Sweet spice and flowers star in a high-toned symphonic cup, bright, layered, cocoa-anchored
