Blind Assessment
Aroma and finish are balanced and understated, almost simple, but the cup transcends limitation with its big-bodied, sweet-toned opulence. There is nuance here: roast-influenced cedar and dark chocolate in the aroma, caramel and perhaps raisin in the cup, but the sensory payoff is the fatly silky body and round, resonant depth.
Notes
A prize winner in the 2004 El Salvador Cup of Excellence competition, where as a green (unroasted) coffee it placed thirty-third out of hundreds of entries, attracting a score of 84 from an international jury. Produced from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety of arabica on the Los Naranjos farm at a growing altitude of approximately 4,600 feet. Origins Coffee Roasterie is a small-batch wholesale and retail specialty roaster serving southwestern Florida and beyond. Visit
