Blind Assessment
Deeply sweet and resonant. Honey, cedar, ripe blackberry, tangerine, lavender in aroma and cup. Round, sweet-toned acidity; buoyant, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Honey, lavender and tangerine saturate the long, rich finish.
Notes
Produced from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety by farmers Alberto and Diego Guardia of Sonora Estate in Costa Rica. Processed by the honey method, which means that the outer skin is removed as it is in the wet or “washed” process, but at least some of the sticky fruit residue is allowed to dry on the bean and later removed by machine along with the parchment skin.Temple Coffee is a quality-focused retail and wholesale specialty roaster active in Sacramento, California since 2005.
