Blind Assessment
Complex, multi-layered. Black cherry, candy cap mushroom, tangerine zest, sandalwood, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with richly bright acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The long finish centers around notes of black cherry and candy cap mushroom.
Notes
Produced at Finca El Retiro entirely of the Sudan Rume variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Interpretation Coffee is a Taiwan-based nano-roaster that specializes in microlot coffees. Visit www.interpretationcoffee.com for more information.
Bottom Line
An umami-driven coffee that straddles the sweet and savory with a throughline of stone fruit and compelling earthy mushrooms, sustained and balanced by a richly complex structure.
