Blind Assessment
Multi-layered, richly complex. Pomegranate, dried pineapple, cocoa nib, marjoram, wisteria in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet, fruity acidity; full, creamy-smooth mouthfeel. Long, resonant, flavor-laden finish.
Notes
Produced by Carlos Cerquera of Finca La Esperanza, entirely of the Red Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). 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. For more information, visit www.oakandbondcoffee.com.
Bottom Line
A lovely rendition of the Red Bourbon variety from Colombia — complex, deep, rich and lush.
