Blind Assessment
Sweetly and deeply bright. Dried cherry, dark chocolate, magnolia, cedar, marjoram in aroma and cup. Sweetly savory structure with delicate, deep-toned acidity; silky-smooth mouthfeel. Simple, clean finish, chocolaty and sweet.
Notes
Comprised entirely of the Red Catuaí variety of Arabica and processed by the anaerobic natural method (fermentation of the whole fruit occurs in a hermetically sealed, oxygen-free vessel before the fruit is dried). Spix’s Cafe is a Taipei-based coffee roaster specializing exclusively in coffees from Brazil. Visit https://www.facebook.com/SpixsCafeEspecialTaiwan/ for more information.
Bottom Line
A quietly confident anaerobic natural Brazil cup, chocolaty, deep, floral, fruit-toned.
