Blind Assessment
A sweet, well rounded cup. Cherry and citrus mix with chocolate, nut and cedar in aroma and cup, along with a distant hint of lavender. Perfectly balanced, sweet-toned and smooth acidity. Fruit diminishes in the finish focusing the flavor on unsweetened chocolate.
Notes
One of several small adjoining farms that make up Finca La Camelia, El Vergel is a 37 acre farm owned by Victor Hugo Garcia Benavente. This lot is made up entirely of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica. Terroir is a microroaster focusing on elite single-origin coffees. It is a pioneer in the revival of medium roast styles designed to foreground the character of the green coffee. Terroir is the creation of George Howell, one of the world's leading coffee visionaries. Visit www.terroircoffee.com or call 866-444-5282 for more information.
