Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet, nut-toned. Almond brittle, tart pie cherry, magnolia, baking chocolate, oak in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with pert acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to baking chocolate, pie cherry and oak.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers in the Oaxaca region of Mexico from trees of the Bourbon and Typica varieties of Arabica and processed by the washed method. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums. Visit www.jbccoffeeroasters.com or call 608-256-5282 for more information.

Bottom Line

A friendly, chocolate-toned Oaxaca cup with a sweet almond throughline.
