Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Sweet-toned, pleasing but simple aromatics: roasted almond, lemon, grape. Buttery mouthfeel. Dry plum, lemon/lime-like citrus and anise carry from the small cup into finish. Continued hints of lemon and anise in a well-balanced, two-part milk drink.
Notes
Finca Candelaria is owned and managed by Luis Pedro Zelaya Sr. who, over the past several years has taken a once run-down farm and revitalized it. JBC Coffee Roasters (formerly Johnson Brothers Coffee Roasters) is a distinguished small-batch roasting company. Visit www.jbccoffeeroasters.com or call 608-256-5282 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Aficionados of single-origin espressos as straight shots and in short milk. Crisp and quietly complex.
