Blind Assessment
A sweet and very complex coffee. A discreetly fermenty, brandy-toned chocolate dominates, rounded and complicated by brighter and crisper notes: strawberry, grapefruit and an almond-like nut note that under the impact of the essential sweetness of the coffee reads as lush marzipan. Remains rich and sweet in the finish, though simplifies a bit.
Notes
A blend of coffees processed by three different alternative methods on Panama’s distinguished Elida Estate: natural (dried in the entire fruit), honey (dried in the fruit pulp only) and washed (all soft fruit residue removed before drying).

Who Should Drink It
A fine coffee for anyone or any occasion, but aficionados may particularly enjoy attempting to pick out the interwoven contributions of the three processing methods. The brandyish dried-in-the-fruit component is easiest to detect.
