Blind Assessment

Tropical fruit-toned. Mango, lychee, lime, dark chocolate, oak in aroma and cup. Very sweet structure with brisk acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Fruity and chocolaty finish with aromatic wood notes.

Notes

Produced by Marta Bayter and her sons, Shady and Elias, of Vergel Estate from the Red and Yellow Caturra variety of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic natural method (whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying, still in the whole fruit). Oak & Bond is a specialty retail and wholesale coffee roaster based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company’s name combines “oak,” a reference to its first coffee, a barrel-aged release, and “bond,” referring to the founders’ happy marriage.

Bottom Line

An exceptionally fruit-forward cup (think tropical melange) with undertones of dark chocolate throughout.
