Blind Assessment
Balanced, bright, deep-toned. Pomegranate, Graham cracker, tangerine, baking chocolate, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with lively acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of tangerine and baking chocolate with undertones of cedar.
Notes
Produced by Juan Diego de la Cerda, entirely of the Maracaturra variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Maracaturra is a cross between the huge-beaned Maragogipe and the compact-growing Caturra varieties of Arabica. Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is a retailer and wholesaler focused on organic and socially responsible coffees; it was named the “2012 Micro-Roaster of the Year” by Roast Magazine.

Bottom Line
A harmonious, integrated Guatemala Maracaturra with elegant depth and perky acidity.
