Blind Assessment

Bright, juicy, floral-toned. Tangerine, plumeria (frangipani) red plum, cocoa nib, tarragon in aroma and cup. Sparkling (phosphoric) acidity; delicately satiny, very smooth mouthfeel. The resonant finish carries over all the flavor notes from the cup.

Notes

Produced by Wilton Benitez of Granja Paraiso 92, entirely of the Striped Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the double-anaerobic thermal shock method, in which the coffee fruit, after having been first sanitized with ozone, undergoes two stages of fermentation. First, the whole cherries are submerged under water for 48 hours, then the beans are pulped and fermented with wine yeasts. Founded in 2013, modcup coffee focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees. Visit modcup.com for more information.

Bottom Line

This is a coffee that balances bright citrus, sweet florals and rich herbs with aplomb — it’s got a compelling intrigue very much worth pursuing.
