Blind Assessment
Deeply resonant, pungent. Black currant, apricot, hints of dark chocolate and wisteria-like flowers in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet acidity; satiny mouthfeel. A slight savory edge deepens and complicates a sweet finish.
Notes
From the farm of Jose Cuchumbe, one of a community of 42 farmers near Monserrate in the Department of Huila, Colombia. OQ Coffee is a New Jersey-based small-batch roasting company that emphasizes its commitment to coffee quality and community-building. Visit www.oqcoffee.com for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Its resonant depth and pungent berry enveloped in floral sweetness suggest the rounder, deeper style of Kenya. Should appeal to those who enjoy intensity without assertive brightness.
