Blind Assessment
Subtly lush, crisply chocolaty. Violet, baker’s chocolate, blackcurrant, fresh-cut oak, almond in aroma and cup. Zesty, sweet acidity; delicate, satiny mouthfeel. Blackcurrant notes dominate in the crisp, resonant short finish, with oak and violet carrying into the long.
Notes
The word ‘Waykan’ means ‘shining star in the night sky’ in the Mayan Q’qnjobal dialect. This coffee comes from small-holder coffee farmers in Quiché Department. Founded in 1990, Lexington Coffee is an award-winning artisan roasting company based in Virginia. Lexington’s focus on fresh, flavorful and sustainable coffee is reflected in its motto, “Fresh, Flavorful & Fair.” Visit www.lexingtoncoffee.com or call 800-322-6505 for more information.
Bottom Line
A pretty violet-toned Central America cup with compelling chocolate notes throughout and a hint of sweetly tart, Kenya-like blackcurrant.
