Blind Assessment
Deeply rich and sweet-toned. Roasted cacao nib, lily, sandalwood, lychee, hazelnut in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart acidity; satiny smooth mouthfeel. The crisp finish resonates with hazelnut and lily in the short, consolidating to cocoa-toned sandalwood in the gently drying long.
Notes
This lot is comprised entirely of the much admired, bold-bean Pacamara variety of Arabica, a cross between the giant-beaned Maragogipe variety and Pacas, a selection of the heirloom Bourbon. Finca El Aguila is owned by farmer Mauricio Ariz and his sons, who are fourth- and fifth-generation growers. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line
A complex Pacamara cup: rich, sweet and driven by deeply expressed cocoa and spicy aromatic wood.
