Blind Assessment

Fruit-sweet, multilayered. Dried strawberry, cocoa syrup, mandarin zest, jasmine, cedar in aroma and cup. Gently bright acidity; smooth, syrupy mouthfeel. Strawberry and sweet cocoa notes commingle in the finish.

Notes

Produced by the Bayter Family of El Vergel Estate, from trees of the Castillo, Colombia and Caturra varieties of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic cofermentation method, in which the whole cherries are first fermented in plastic bags with strawberries and yeast, then in open air, and are finally dried in the whole fruit. Exported by Forest Coffee, which owns El Vegel Estate. Slake Coffee is a small-batch roastery located on the Central Coast of California, that develops specific roast profiles for every coffee based on the inherent qualities of the bean.

Bottom Line

Strawberry is this coffee’s throughline (and it is a strawberry co-ferment, while cocoa notes ebb and flow to contrast and amplify the fruit.
