Blind Assessment
Impressive because, unlike many of the coffees in the cupping, it displays some acidy brightness. May not generate enough sweetness to round the acidity, however, leaving the cup just a touch on the sour side. Not much nuance but solid body.
Notes
Excellent breakfast coffee with acidy brightness, solid body. Juan Vinas is a well-established grower in the Turrialba region, east of San Jose. Unlike the Tarrazu and Tres Rios regions, which receive their weather from the Pacific, Turrialba is oriented toward the somewhat wetter Caribbean side of the peninsula. Dallis Bros. is a family owned business that is both wholesale roaster and importer of fine specialty coffee, and has long occupied a leadership position in the specialty industry.

Who Should Drink It
Should make an excellent breakfast coffee in the dry, straightforward American tradition.
