Blind Assessment
Richly sweet, deep-toned. Honeysuckle, date, hazelnut, agave syrup, cedar in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet structure with soft acidity; crisply satiny mouthfeel. The floral-toned finish leads with notes of honeysuckle and hazelnut rounding to sweet date and cedar in the long.
Notes
Produced by Jesus Recinos entirely from trees of the Bourbon variety of Arabica and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed before beans are dried). Magnolia Coffee is a Charlotte-based specialty roaster whose motto is “Craft roasted. Truly delicious. Socially conscious.” Magnolia particularly emphasizes community engagement through its Local Beans for Local Good programs. Visit www.magnoliacoffeeco.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A balanced, floral-toned cup with undertones of dried fruit and creamy hazelnut.
