Blind Assessment
Round, sweet-toned, balanced. Apricot, orange, caramel, lily-like flowers and a hint of chocolate in aroma and cup. Softly tart acidity; plush mouthfeel. The chocolate hint in particular comes forward in a slightly drying finish.
Notes
Produced from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety and Pacas, a dwarf selection of Bourbon. Finca Las Brisas is a tiny farm that produces only twelve 150-pound bags of coffee per year. Honduras, until recently a largely overlooked Central American coffee origin, has been producing increasing volumes of refined coffee over the past few years. Victrola is a small-batch, hands-on roaster with a passionate commitment to quality and distinctiveness. Visit www.victrolacoffee.com or call 206-624-1725 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
A quietly complex, classically balanced breakfast cup.
