Blind Assessment

Honey and sweet night flowers balanced by a gently lemony tartness and pungent, fresh-cut cedar. Pronounced but roundly balanced acidity; syrupy mouthfeel. Rich, resonant short finish simplifies very slightly in the long.

Notes

The Cup of Excellence is the most esteemed competition for green coffees from a given country of origin; this was the first prize winner from the Colombia 2011 competition chosen by a select group of national and international cuppers. It was produced on Arnulfo Leguizamo’s Primavera farm and is Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning it was produced following sustainable ecological and socio-economic criteria developed by the Sustainable Agricultural Network, a coalition of independent, environment-focused non-governmental organizations. Equator is a specialty roaster based in the San Francisco Bay Area driven by “passion for quality and sustainability.” Visit www.equatorcoffees.com or call 800-809-7687 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

A classic coffee in every respect: big, sweet acidity, syrupy mouthfeel, lush yet lucid aromatics.
