Blind Assessment

Sweet-toned, lyric, balanced. Layered complexity – honey, honeysuckle-like flowers, white raisin, orange, a hint of thyme – in aroma and cup. Crisp, delicate, floral-toned acidity; smooth, lively mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a gently rich finish.

Notes

Produced entirely from trees of the heirloom Red Bourbon variety of Arabica and processed by the honey method, which means that the outer skin is removed as it is in the wet or “washed” process, but at least some of the sticky fruit residue is allowed to dry on the bean and later removed by machine along with the parchment skin. Topéca acquired El Manzano farm in 2001, and with the leadership of producer Emilio Lopez Diaz has engaged in processing and varietal experiments through its micro-mill program Cautro M Cafés. Topéca Coffee is an artisan roaster with three café locations and a roastery in Tulsa, Oklahoma.Visit www.topecacoffee.com or call 918-398-8022 for more information.
