Blind Assessment
What coffee people call acidity, the dry yet sweet sensation characteristic of high-grown coffees, is the main event here: rich, dominating, toned by black-cherry fruit with a slight cabernet-like twist.
Notes
Sold whole bean in bulk; $9.99/pound. Popayan is one of Colombia's most respected regional origins. Supremo is the highest grade of Colombia coffee based on bean size.
