Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet, balanced. Nectarine, caramelized almonds, freesia-like flowers, baking chocolate, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with bright, juicy acidity; velvety mouthfeel. Almond and chocolate-toned finish.

Notes

Produced by Don Joiner Alvarado of Finca Los Cedros, from trees of the Caturra and Catuaí varieties of Arabica, and processed by the yellow honey method. With all honey processing methods, some sweet pulp or fruit flesh (“honey”) is allowed to adhere to the beans during drying. In the yellow honey variation, a thin layer of pulp is allowed to dry on the beans, more than with white honey, but less than is the case with red or black honey.

Bottom Line

A balanced, harmonious Costa Rica cup driven by notes of stone fruit, spicy florals, and richly sweet nut tones.
