Blind Assessment
Vibrant, deep, complex. Apricot, baking chocolate, hazelnut, lemon verbena, freesia-like flowers in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with juicy acidity; lightly satiny mouthfeel. A cocoa-toned finish is supported by notes of stone fruit and hazelnut.
Notes
Produced by the Castillo family of Finca Buena Esperanza from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and Catuaí varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method. Oak & Bond is a specialty retail and wholesale coffee roaster based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company’s name combines “oak,” a reference to its first coffee, a barrel-aged release, and “bond,” referring to the founders’ happy marriage. For more information, visit www.oakandbondcoffee.com.
Bottom Line
A classic washed Guatemala cup with notes of stone fruit, sweet nut, chocolate and spicy flowers.
