Blind Assessment
Fruit- and herb-toned. Lemon thyme, strawberry, dark chocolate, hazelnut, a hint of rum barrel in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with fruit-driven acidity; creamy-smooth mouthfeel. The quiet finish centers around notes of lemon thyme, strawberry and rum barrel.
Notes
This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 27 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2020. Produced by Luis and Rigoberto Herrera at Las Margaritas Farm entirely of the San Juan variety of Arabica and processed by a proprietary natural process in which cherries are fermented in the whole fruit at controlled temperatures. 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 berry-driven Colombia cup with background notes of sweet herbs and a dark chocolate throughline.
