Blind Assessment
Gently tart, sweetly herbaceous. Jasmine, sassafras, tangerine, baking chocolate, agave syrup in aroma and cup. High-toned structure with sweetly bright acidity; silky, buoyant mouthfeel. The quiet finish consolidates to notes of tangerine and jasmine.
Notes
Produced by Weber Teixeira Lacerda entirely of the Red Catuaí variety of Arabica, and processed by the pulped natural (also called semi-washed or honey) method (skins are removed but the sticky fruit flesh is allowed to dry on the beans). Mostra Coffee is a women-, minority-, veteran-, and immigrant-owned micro-roaster based in north county San Diego. For more information, visit www.mostracoffee.com.
Bottom Line
A vibrant, juicy, floral- and citrus-toned cup with complicating sweet herb undertones.
