Blind Assessment

Powerfully aromatic, fruit-centered. Passionfruit, lychee, ginger flower, almond brittle, kumquat in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with apple-toned, malic acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Exceptionally harmonious and integrated finish into the far long.

Notes

Produced by Jairo Arcila and Cofinet of Finca Santa Monica entirely of the Castillo variety of Arabica, and processed by an experimental fruit maceration process in which the whole fruit is first fermented in an anaerobic (limited oxygen) environment with wine yeasts and macerated fruit. After fermentation, the coffee cherries are pulped and placed to dry on raised beds with macerated fruits until the ideal moisture content is achieved. Founded in 2013, modcup coffee focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees. Visit modcup.com for more information.

Bottom Line

High-toned, explicitly and cleanly fruit-forward, leading with notes of passionfruit and lychee — tropics in a cup.
