Blind Assessment
Sweetly tart, gently herbaceous. Meyer lemon zest, bay leaf, baking chocolate, date, myrrh in aroma and cup. Brisk, sweet acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. Especially long, vibrant finish with lingering notes of baking chocolate, date and myrrh.
Notes
Produced by Wilton Benitez of Gran Paraiso 92, from trees of the Colombia and Caturra varieties of Arabica, and decaffeinated in Colombia using ethyl acetate, a solvent derived from sugar cane. Founded in 2013, modcup coffee focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees. Visit modcup.com for more information.
Bottom Line
One of the nicest decafs in recent memory — citrusy and sweetly herbaceous with a depth few decafs achieve.
