Cupping Evaluation
Cupping Details
Starting with dry fragrance of bright complex herbs and fruits, when we break the crust it seems to have reconfigured itself to reveal brown sugar and rich sweet nuttiness. The body is round and juicy, while the texture is of medium weight. The acidity comes through as a mellow citrus, almost tropical, bridging into sweet orange and soft cane sugar. The complexity and bitterness is where this coffee really has a lot going on, with hints of cocoa, oak & nutty earth.

Brewing Details
Subtle at first, the scents off of this coffee might be reigned in but floral hints peek out, along with some vanilla, fruit and chocolate. Getting into the drinking experience, the first sips offer a full body that's pretty juicy and round. Flavor wise, acidity is one of the first attributes to step in, with bright tropical fruit and a little juicy melon. Sweet and nutty throughout, there are some nice caramel tones and a touch of earthiness (not uncommon for this origin) that help round out the flavor balance. The finish is long and shifts from citrus to a nutty dry cocoa. We call this coffee- Bright, Juicy & Nutty
