Blind Assessment
Few complaints here, but not much enthusiasm either. At least no one called this coffee ordinary or boring. "Excellent coffee," said one, "although repeated cuppings left me with a feeling of 'something lacking.'" "Doesn't go anywhere," I observed. However, one of the cuppers felt this coffee came "back with a second level of depth; a good, full cup." Perhaps the rest of us weren't patient enough.
Notes
Excellent coffee, charming but limited character. Originally reviewed by a panel as a green coffee. El Borbollon is grown on a family-owned estate.
Who Should Drink It
Charm, but not enough character to impress.
