Blind Assessment
Deeply pungent and richly sweet. Lavender, baker’s chocolate, oak, ripe fig, a hint of ginger in aroma and cup. Roundly sweet-tart and juicy in structure; full and satiny in mouthfeel. Baker’s chocolate carries distinctly and pleasingly into an otherwise short finish.
Notes
Produced by small-holding farmers in northern Peru from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and Typica varieties of Arabica. Processed by the wet or “washed” method, in which skin and fruit flesh are removed from the beans or seeds before they are dried. Espresso Republic, founded in 2010, specializes in sourcing quality coffees and roasting them in small batches for both retail and wholesale customers.

Bottom Line
A fine Peru, with the round, pungently chocolaty character of the type supported by crisp floral top notes and a plump, smooth mouthfeel.
