Blind Assessment

Richly spice-toned, fruit-driven. Dried papaya, salted caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Sweet, low-toned structure with round acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The quiet finish centers around notes of papaya, caramel and nutmeg.

Notes

Folklore Coffee is a specialty roaster and bakeshop in the rural Montana town of Conrad. Produced by Don Luis Campos of Cordillera de Fuego from trees of the Caturra and Catuaí varieties of Arabica, and processed by the “thermic” method, in which beans, with skins removed, are heated with some of the fruit flesh or mucilage still adhering to them. The exposure to heat starts to break down the natural sugars of the mucilage, partially caramelizing it.  Visit www.folklorecoffeemt.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A Costa Rica coffee processed by an experimental method that results in an inviting cup evocative of baking spices.
