Blind Assessment

Fruit-driven. Cranberry sauce, red grape, lychee, baking chocolate, cedar in aroma and cup. Gently sweet-tart acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Fruit-toned finish with notes of cranberry and red grape supported by baking chocolate and cedar.

Notes

Produced by Francisco Mena of Finca Sumava de Lourdes, entirely of the Catuai variety of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic natural method, in which the whole fruit is fermented in tanks with limited oxygen before drying, also in the whole fruit. Tipico Coffee is a café and specialty coffee roaster based in Buffalo, New York. Visit www.tipicocoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

Rife with layers of fruit and florals, this anaerobic natural Costa Rica is also balanced, deep-toned, and plushly syrupy on the palate.
