Blind Assessment
Delicate; crisply sweet-savory. Lemon blossom, roasted cacao nib, pink peppercorn, fresh fennel, plum in aroma and cup. Brisk, sweet-tart acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The quiet finish consolidates to cocoa-toned citrus notes in the short with suggestions of fresh fennel in the long.
Notes
Produced from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and Typica varieties of Arabica by multiple family farmers in the remote village of Rio Negro. This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Espresso Republic, founded in 2010, specializes in sourcing quality coffees and roasting them in small batches for both retail and wholesale customers.

Bottom Line
A sweetly herbaceous, crisp, cocoa-toned Colombia cup.
