Blind Assessment
Berry-driven, brightly sweet-tart. Berry melange, cocoa nib, amber, cedar, a hint of sassafras in aroma and cup. Complex, bittersweet structure with juicy acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. The long, resonant finish centers around cocoa nib and raspberry notes.
Notes
Produced by Juan Luis Barrios Ortega of Finca Retiro del Quisaya from trees of the Bourbon, Typica and Pache varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Located in southwestern Colorado, Durango Coffee lays claim to a rich coffee history that dates to 1986. Its motto is “Tough Town, Great Coffee.” Visit www.durangocoffee.com or call 800-748-2275 for more information.
Bottom Line
A fruit-forward natural-processed Guatemala cup complicated by resiny amber-like notes and a rich cocoa throughline.
