Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Deeply sweet-tart. Lemon curd, walnut, roasted cacao nib, honeysuckle, candied apple in aroma and small cup. Crisp, silky mouthfeel. Bright, balanced short finish; sweetly nut-toned in the long. Maintains its composure in three parts milk, where both chocolate and lemon notes converge and fatten.
Notes
Produced from trees of the Caturra and Catuai varieties of Arabica by the Cooperativa de Caficultores de Dota, a cooperative admired for its environmental and social initiatives as well as its fine coffees. 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 bright, crisp, balanced Costa Rica espresso, impressive both as straight shot and in milk.
