Blind Assessment
Bright, juicy, intensely aromatic. Distinct green apple, kumquat, raw cacao, marjoram, wild honey in aroma and cup. Tart-leaning, citrusy acidity; quite full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Crisply tart finish with notes of kumquat and cacao.
Notes
Produced by Jairo Arcila of Finca Santa Monica, entirely of the Castillo variety of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic natural method with the addition of green apple and wine yeasts to the fermentation. Big Shoulders Coffee is a Chicago artisan roaster that emphasizes a fresh-roasted, no-nonsense approach to fine coffee. Visit www.bigshoulderscoffee.com or call 312-846-1439 for more information.
Bottom Line
A Colombia Castillo co-fermented with green apple to sweet-tart, juicy-bright effect; this high-toned cup gets ballast from a throughline of raw cacao.
