Blind Assessment

Richly sweet-savory, brightly sweet. Mulberry, sassafras, green tomato, cane sugar, salted caramel in aroma and cup. Bright, citrusy acidity; crisp, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Savory-leaning finish with a tomato-like umami undercurrent.

Notes

Produced by Allan Oviedo of Finca Don Noel, entirely of the SL28 variety of Arabica, and processed by the yellow honey method, in which a small percentage of fruit lesh is left on the beans during the drying process. Tipico Coffee is a café and specialty coffee roaster based in Buffalo, New York. Visit www.tipicocoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

This uniquely composed SL28 (traditionally a Kenyan variety) grown in Costa Rica and honey-processed offers an inviting savory throughline juxtaposed with dark fruit and complex herb impulses.
