Blind Assessment

Luscious, sweetly savory. Candied yam, sarsaparilla, baker’s chocolate, rhododendron-like flowers, pomegranate in aroma and cup. Round, balanced acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The cleanly resonant finish is carried by sarsaparilla and sweet yam notes.

Notes

Toarco (TOraja ARabica COffee) is a coffee project in the famous Sulawesi coffee growing region of Toraja developed and financed by Japan’s Key Coffee Company and its Indonesian partners. Toarco coffees are processed by variants of the orthodox wet or washed method, giving them a brighter and cleaner profile than Sulawesi coffees processed by the locally traditional wet-hulling method. Until recently Toarco sold its entire production to the Japanese market, making this coffee rare in the United States. 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.

Bottom Line

An invitingly juicy, yet intriguingly sweet-savory Sulawesi coffee.
