Blind Assessment

Complex, richly sweet-tart. Strawberry-guava, kumquat, narcissus, raw cacao, amber in aroma and cup. Juicy, citric acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. Flavor-laden finish led by notes of strawberry-guava and amber with support from kumquat.

Notes

Produced by Wilton Benitez of Granja Paraiso 92, entirely of the Yellow 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. This special release is available to members of modcup’s Deepcuts list.

Bottom Line

An exciting, vibrant, tropical-leaning Colombia Yellow Bourbon anaerobic that’s equal parts floral and fruit-toned — especially deep, focused finish.
