Blind Assessment

Rich-toned, gently smoky. Cocoa butter, golden raisin, lily, scorched oak, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Low perceived acidity, roundly sweet structure; creamy-smooth mouthfeel. Finish leads with notes of smoky cocoa and lily.

Notes

Produced by smallholding members of the CESMACH Cooperative from trees of the Bourbon, Typica and Mundo Novo varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Decaffeinated at the Descamex plant in Mexico by a water-only process that does not involve the use of solvents. SÖT Coffee Roaster, based in Osaka, Japan, is a self-described Swedish-style roaster with an “aggressively light” roasting style. For more information, visit www.sotcoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A very sweet, distinctly smoky Mexico decaf whose gentle bitterness is balanced by notes of cocoa butter and raisin.
