Blind Assessment
Richly sweet, candylike. Candied violet, dried red plum, cocoa nib, marjoram, pink peppercorn in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; very full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned finish supported by notes of candied violet and marjoram.
Notes
Produced by Jose Gomez and his son, Jose Gomez, Jr., entirely of the Catimor variety of Arabica, and processed by the honey method, in which some of the fruit flesh is left on the beans during the drying process. True Coffee is a specialty roaster and cafe in Wisconsin whose motto is, “On a never-ending quest to bring you a great cup of coffee, by staying true to the bean.” Visit www.truecoffeeroasters.com for more information.
Bottom Line
This intriguing honey-processed Guatemala Catimor has a deep floral sweetness and gets ballast from crisp cocoa nib and sweet herb notes.
