Cupping Evaluation
Cupping Details
The aroma opens with sweet apple, perfume-like lavender & a touch of earth, paired nicely with a body is creamy, but light & smooth. This coffee kicks off its flavors by showing off the lower tones of earthy dark chocolate & a clean light caramel, all the while maintaining a pervasive perfume of the lavender throughout. As it cools it begins to reveal its juicy acidity in the form of sweet apple and stone fruit. The finish features just a touch of earthiness but is overall pretty clean and floral. In three words this coffee is Complex, Floral & Creamy
