Blind Assessment

Delicate, deep; complex. Pomegranate, macadamia nut, pink grapefruit zest, agave syrup, a hint of fresh dill in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with gently tart, juicy acidity; supple, syrupy mouthfeel. The multi-layered finish, long and inviting, retains all of the flavor and aroma notes from the cup and adds a subtle tropical fruit note suggesting lychee.

Notes

This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 17 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2021. This coffee earned the highest rating in a cupping of single-farm coffees from Colombia for Coffee Review’s February 2021 report. Produced by Willington Ultengo from trees of the Caturra and Colombia varieties of Arabica and processed by a refined version of the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Established in 2010, Red Rooster is an organic-certified micro-roaster focusing on socially conscious, high-quality coffee. Visit redroostercoffee.com or call 540-745-7338 for more information.

Bottom Line

An intricately original natural-processed Colombia cup that evolves as it cools — lyrically sweet, mysteriously savory, invitingly tart.
