Blind Assessment
Crisply sweet, fruit-toned. Dried plum, hazelnut, cocoa powder, marjoram, fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with gently fruity acidity; crisp, silky mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to cocoa-toned marjoram with hints of hazelnut.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the TAMBOR Cooperative, from trees of the Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, Typica and Mundo Novo varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (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 quietly confident, gently fruit-forward natural-processed Mexico cup from the coastal region of Nyarit, not typically associated with coffee.
