Blind Assessment

High-toned, richly sweet-tart-savory. Raspberry jam, dark chocolate, pie cherry, almond, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned with tart-savory acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. Deeply chocolaty and fruit-toned in the finish.

Notes

Produced by Don Roger and Isabel Mairena of Gold Mountain Coffee Farms from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra, Java and Pache varieties of Arabica, and processed by the carbonic maceration method, which involves fermenting whole coffee fruit inside a sealed container that has been flushed with CO2, then drying the coffee in the whole fruit. Joe Bean Roasters is a specialty retail and wholesale coffee roaster based in Rochester, New York. Visit www.joebeanroasters.com for more information.  

Bottom Line

A complex sweet-tart-savory cup processed by carbonic maceration — chocolaty and fruit-forward.
