Blind Assessment: Complex, cleanly fruit-forward. Raspberry coulis, cocoa nib, hazelnut butter, lilac, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Bright, sweetly tart structure with juicy acidity; delicate, silky-smooth mouthfeel. The resonant finish consolidates to notes of raspberry and hazelnut with sandalwood undertones.

Notes: Produced by the Alvarez family entirely of the Bourbon variety of Arabica and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

The Bottom Line: A pretty, berry-toned natural-processed El Salvador Bourbon with high-toned structure and juicy acidity.
