Blind Assessment
Sweet-toned, deep; lovely balance. Dark chocolate, brown sugar, hazelnut, white peach, lily-like flowers in aroma and cup. Plump, soft acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a rich, sweet, cleanly straightforward finish.
Notes
This is a certified organic dry-processed or “natural” coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. Farmers Francesca Cabillo and Oscar Chacon Solano process all of their coffees using alternative processing methods (honey, natural) to compensate for relatively low growing elevations. Seattle Coffee Works is a small-batch retail and wholesale roasting company focused on quality and green coffee sourcing without compromise.

Who Should Drink It
Those who prefer depth, resonance and balance to bright assertion in a quietly nuanced cup.
