Blind Assessment
Tangy-sweet, brisk. Concord grape, lime zest, pistachio, musky rose, sourdough rye in aroma and cup. Briskly bright in structure; full and syrupy in mouthfeel. The finish is crisp, rich and tangy-sour.
Notes
Frinsa Estate is owned by a couple, Wildan Mustofa, who directs and oversees operational activities (farms and processing) and Atieq Mustikaningtyas, who manages human resources and finances. Frinsa Estate grows, guides partnering farmers, collects, and processes specialty coffee from the Bandung highlands region. This coffee is produced from the Ateng variety of Arabica and processed by the natural method (beans are dried in the whole fruit). Corvus particularly focuses on processing methods and selective harvesting, which results in small, seasonal micro-lots of uniquely sweet, vibrant, and clean flavor profiles.

Bottom Line
Here the natural processing method encourages a brisk, bright cup rounded by grape, pistachio and musky flowers.
