Blind Assessment
Balanced, fruit-toned. Lychee, almond, green grape, red wine barrel, cardamom in aroma and cup. Gently bright acidity; round, viscous mouthfeel. Quietly intriguing finish that leads with notes of lychee and cardamom.
Notes
This outstanding coffee was selected as the No. 30 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024. Produced by Ashok Patre of Pearl Mountain Farm, from trees of the Kent and S-795 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the carbonic maceration method, then dried in the whole fruit. Mostra Coffee is a women-, minority-, veteran-, and immigrant-owned micro-roaster based in north county San Diego. For more information, visit www.mostracoffee.com.
Bottom Line
A lovely carbonic macerated India that highlights tropical fruit, sweet spice notes and a hint of wine-like ferment.
