Blind Assessment

Richly fruit-forward, floral-toned. Watermelon candy, violet, orange soda, banana saltwater taffy, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Juicy, sparkling acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Fruity, rich-toned finish, long and lingering.

Notes

Produced by Wilton Benitez of Granja Paraiso 92, entirely of the Sidra variety of Arabica, and processed by the double-anaerobic thermal shock method, in which the coffee fruit, after having been first sanitized with ozone, undergoes two stages of fermentation. First, the whole cherries are submerged under water for 48 hours, then the beans are pulped and fermented with a strain of Lactobacillus for 24 hours. 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

A candy-like, viscous, brightly juicy Colombia Sidra, confident and flavor-saturated.
