Blind Assessment
Soft, round, balanced. Quiet aroma: almond, apricot. In the cup complicates and deepens: honey, ripe lemon, cocoaish chocolate, continued almond and apricot. Crisp, juicy acidity; syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor carries persuasively into a sweet-toned finish.
Notes
This coffee is made up entirely of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica. Las Chicas del Café is a Canadian-based roaster specializing in coffee from their family-owned farm and mill AromaNica Coffees in Nicaragua. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Exemplary example of the balanced, round, quietly deep-toned cup for which Nicaragua is particularly admired. Perhaps the finely balanced acidity and complex aromatics can be attributed to the heirloom Bourbon cultivar.
