Cupping Evaluation
Cupping Details
Sweet & tropical fruits pervade the aroma, like tart pineapple & papaya. Juicy in body, it's coating, supple & quite rich. Multifaceted in its range of flavors it comes across like a tropical fruit cider. From its high quality acidity of white grapes, pineapple & sweet-tarts to its lush & juicy ripe fruit sweetness accented with decadent maple, this coffee nails it. Complex in its more bitter character, we taste carob, molasses & lemon zest. In it's fade and linger we find papaya juice, sweet herbs and a hint of dryness.

Brewing Evaluation
Brewing Details
Intriguing from the very start, our first nose of the cup is sweet & complex filled to the brim with ripe tropical fruit. Sparklingly clean, the body is juicy, delicate & creamy. The flavor overall is incredibly complex, boasting fruits from citrus to berry, a clean candied sweetness resting on a bed of caramel and soft, creamy chocolate. In the end, it lingers in a juicy tingle of fruit notes with a fade of chocolate laced with baking spices. This coffee is a great many things but in 3 words- Balanced, Fruity and Complex.
