Blind Assessment

Sweetly fruit-toned, gently rustic. Dried plum, baking chocolate, hazelnut, molasses, fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Soft, rounded acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The sweet-toned finish has lingering notes of dried fruit and baking chocolate.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers of the Asociacion de Productores Cafetaleros Juan Marco El Palto (JUMARP) and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Placer Roasting is a Rocklin, California-based specialty coffee roaster whose mission is to make great coffee both exceptional and approachable. Visit www.placerroasting.com for more information.

Bottom Line

An easygoing natural-processed Peru that foregrounds dried fruit chocolate tones — friendly, inviting, fun.
