Blind Assessment

Intricate, richly pungent: chocolate fudge, spicy oak, wild berry, faint mango-like fruit and night-blooming flowers in aroma and cup. Soft, sweetly tart acidity; full velvety mouthfeel. The finish is berry-toned, with a rounded chocolaty sweetness.

Who Should Drink It

Usually the rare Maragogipe wows us with its giant beans but disappoints in the cup. This lot, however, displays an interesting and impressive sensory profile, making it an appealing buy both for the coffee curious and those simply interested in a satisfying and unusual cup.
