Blind Assessment
Very sweet, floral, tropical fruit-toned. Lychee, green grape, pomegranate, baking chocolate, watermelon candy in aroma and cup. Tartly bittersweet in structure, with a delicate, silky mouthfeel. Crisply chocolaty in finish with a continued suggestion of watermelon candy.
Notes
Produced by brothers Nestor and Adrian Lasso of Finca El Diviso entirely of the Sidra variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Sidra is an Ethiopian variety of coffee that at some unknown point in its history was selected and brought to Ecuador, then to nearby Colombia. Peach Coffee Roasters is an Atlanta-area specialty roaster. Visit www.peachcoffeeroasters.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A pleasantly eccentric cup, with tropical fruit (especially lychee), candyish watermelon, and crisp, dry chocolate jostling for attention.
