Blind Assessment
Delicately fruit-toned. Raspberry jam, lemon thyme, dark chocolate, almond brittle, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with gentle, lively acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of lemon thyme and oak.
Notes
Produced by José Alberto Sánchez Suárez at Finca Potosí from trees of the Typica, Caturra, Colombia and Castillo varieties of Arabica and processed by the washed method. 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 very affordably priced microlot Colombia: berry-driven and chocolaty, with notes of rich nut brittle and sweet herbs.
