Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Richly aromatic, brightly sweet-tart. Dark chocolate, black cherry, tamarind, cedar, finger lime in aroma and small cup. Full, creamy mouthfeel; richly chocolaty, tart-leaning finish. In cappuccino format, dark chocolate and black cherry notes carry the profile, with support from finger lime and cedar.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the Ateng, Bor Bor, Catimor and Timor varieties of Arabica, and processed at Iwannitosa Putra’s Putra Gayo wet mill by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “Let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line

This fully washed Sumatra is nuanced and complex, with a deep chocolate throughline alongside tart fruit, distinct citrus, and deep aromatic wood notes; especially compelling in milk.
