Blind Assessment

Deeply chocolaty, richly floral. Dark chocolate, gently scorched oak, gardenia, lily, raspberry in aroma and cup. Gentle, round acidity; full, creamy mouthfeel. Chocolaty finish with undertones of smoky oak and gardenia.

Notes

Produced at Aquiares Estate, entirely of the Centroamericano variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). David's Nose is a specialty coffee roaster based in Taipei, Taiwan whose founder studied agronomy and has a deep interest in crop quality. For more information, visit www.davidsnosecoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A fruit-toned, darker-roasted Costa Rica natural with berry notes alongside dark chocolate and smoky aromatic wood.
