Blind Assessment

Rich-toned, complex, compelling. Narcissus, black cherry, cardamom, dark chocolate, lemongrass in aroma and cup. Savory-sweet structure with winey acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Flavor-saturated finish led by narcissus and cardamom with undertones of black cherry.

Notes

Comprised entirely of beans from the rare Sudan Rume, a presumably very old variety of Arabica originally selected from wild trees growing on the Boma Plateau of Sudan, close to the border with Ethiopia. Produced by Rigoberto Herrera at Granja La Esperanza in Colombia and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit).  Founded in 2013, modcup coffee focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees.

Bottom Line

An enigmatic, very complex natural-processed Colombia Sudan Rume, rich and very sweet, complicated by spicy florals, deep chocolate, and sweet herbs.
