Blind Assessment
A deep, rich, intense acidity dominates the profile. Complex lemon-and-orange citrus, fresh-cut fir, ripe tomato in aroma and cup. Impressively rich, syrupy mouthfeel. Clean, dry finish.
Notes
This offering from Santa Teresa, Luis Joaquin Lovo's farm, consists of Caturra and Yellow Catuai varieties of Arabica. An integral part of New York’s coffee renaissance, Brooklyn based Café Grumpy opened its first café in 2005 and has since expanded to four locations, including their own roasting facility.
