Blind Assessment
Sweetly spice-driven. Dried cranberry, freesia, fennel, almond, a hint of paprika in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with brisk acidity; full, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The gently drying finish leads with notes of cranberry and fennel.
Notes
Produced by the Valdes family of Finca La Cristalina, entirely of the Pink Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster in Portland, Maine that also operates three coffee shops in town, as well as one in Freeport.

Bottom Line
An interestingly savory line — fennel, paprika — runs through this sweet Pink Bourbon cup, giving it intrigue and depth.
