Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet-tart. Concord grape, fresh-cut fir, baking chocolate, kiwi yogurt, lily in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet-tart acidity; very full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Aromatic wood notes drive the chocolaty-tart finish.

Notes

Produced by Maritza Castro and Francisco Javier Sanchez, entirely of the Maracaturra variety of Arabica,  and processed by the carbonic maceration method, which involves fermenting whole cherries in a sealed container that has been flushed with CO2, then drying in the whole fruit. Imported by Gold Mountain Coffee Growers. Happy is a coffee brand founded by actor Robert Downey, Jr. and business entrepreneur Craig Dubitsky in 2024. Visit www.happyproducts.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A carbonic maceration Nicaragua that leads with appealing Concord grape notes, framed by rich aromatic wood and a crisp chocolate undercurrent.
