Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet, richly chocolaty. Baking chocolate, orange zest, coconut, apple blossom, nougat in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Nougaty finish with undertones of orange zest.

Notes

Produced by Don Senel of Finca La Toboba, entirely of the ed Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the red honey method, in which much of the fruit flesh is left on the beans during the drying process. Bear Lake Coffee Co., a B Corp-certified coffeehouse and roastery located in Barronett, Wisconsin, is committed to sustainability through its Coffee with a Purpose™ initiative, which ensures that farmers receive compensation well above the Fairtrade Premium for their exceptional small-batch coffee.

Bottom Line

Baking chocolate and orange zest are the throughlines that carry this Costa Rica Red Honey with an especially viscous, mouth-filling body.
