Blind Assessment: High-toned, crisply sweet. Maple syrup, orange zest, honeysuckle-like flowers, cedar, almond butter in aroma and cup. Sweetly and roundly tart structure; full, satiny mouthfeel. The richly drying finish is redolent of honeysuckle and orange zest in the short, rounding to buttery nut suggestions in the long.
Notes: Produced by Hipolito Vincente Enrique at Finca Mirador entirely from trees of the Castillo variety of Arabica. Founded in 1990, Lexington Coffee is an award-winning artisan roasting company based in Virginia.

The Bottom Line: A sweetly tart, juicy Colombia cup animated by sweet floral and citrus notes throughout.
