Blind Assessment

Sweetly balanced in aroma and cup: butter, flowers, orange, dark chocolate. The orangy chocolate notes dominate in the gently acidy, silky-bodied cup. Fine finish: rich, sweet, flavor-saturated. A very slight hint of astringency emerges as the cup cools.

Notes

Pachamama is a cooperative of cooperatives, owned by small holding farmers who are members of cooperatives in five different countries: Ethiopia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru. Their coffees are roasted in small batches in the United States and packaged in sophisticated valve-topped, recyclable cans. This coffee is from the La Union cooperative of 1,900 family farmers in Vera Cruz State, Mexico. It is certified organically grown and also Fair Trade certified, meaning it was purchased at a "fair" or economically sustainable price from the small-holding farmers organized in this democratically-run cooperative. Visit www.pacha.coop or call 530-204-7554 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Those interested in a classic Mexico profile, at least one kind of classic Mexico profile: not particularly assertive nor complex, but sweet, balanced, with low-acid citrus, dark chocolate, rose-toned flowers - quiet and pure.
