Blind Assessment

Explosively aromatic, lush, deeply complex. Strawberry guava, blood orange, rose, vanilla bean and dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Vibrant, juicy acidity; plush, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is exceptionally long and saturated, carrying tropical fruit, citrus, florals and chocolate.

Notes

This coffee won 1st place (Gold) in the Experimental category, U.S. division, of the inaugural Kenneth Davids Cup. Produced by Wilton Benitez of La Macarena Farm, entirely of the Pink Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by a complexly detailed version of the double-anaerobic method (sealed-tank fermentation of the whole fruit with the addition of yeast strains), which includes sterilizing the cherries with ozone gas and ultraviolet light. 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

A spectacular Pink Bourbon in which elaborate fermentation magnifies the variety’s fruit and floral character while amplifying clarity, structure and balance.
