Blind Assessment

Deeply chocolaty, floral-toned. Dark chocolate, lilac, hazelnut butter, apricot, tangerine in aroma and cup. Balanced, bright acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish leads with notes of lilac and dark chocolate.

Notes

Produced by Wilmar Castillo of Finca Vista Al Bosque, from the Bourbon and Caturra varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). 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.

Bottom Line

A classic Guatemala profile at its best: richly chocolaty; sweetly nutty, gently floral.
