Cupping Evaluation
Cupping Details
Slightly muted in the aroma, it's sweet with notes of toffee, honey and orange juice. The body is full and mostly juicy with just a little dryness. The acidity is dominantly filled with sweet citrus tones, complemented with sweet honey and peanut butter cups. The bitterness is complex cocoa and molasses, with nutty undertones. This coffee's cocoa finish doesn't linger very long in flavor, but leaves a little dryness behind.

Brewing Evaluation
Brewing Details
The experience begins with soft sweet scents of fruit. Juicy and full, the smooth body carries intense tropical fruits flavors that mellow as the cup cools a bit. The sweetness is rich and deep, but nice and clean grounded by creamy chocolate and nutty notes. The aftertaste is tangy and a little sticky. Overall we'd describe this coffee as full, bright and nutty.
