Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet, spice-toned. Praline, cedar, baker’s chocolate, fig, clove in aroma and cup. Soft, bittersweet acidity; richly drying, syrupy mouthfeel. The deep-toned, resonant finish consolidates to fig and cedar in the short, with a suggestions of praline in the long.

Notes

Produced by Percy Pintado from trees of the Red Caturra, Yellow Caturra and Bourbon varieties of Arabica. This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Branch Street Coffee Roasters is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster in Youngstown, Ohio. Under the careful eye of owner/roaster Matthew Campbell, each coffee is individually profiled and cupped to ensure peak flavor and consistency.Visit www.branchstreetcoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A straightforward cup with an appealing throughline of sweet nut and fruit tones and gentle acidity.
