Cupping Notes

Big, full, almost waxy body. Rich dark chocolate. Hint of... yes... Brazil nut, and without much in the way of fruited nuance. Uniform cup character across the temperature spectrum.

The Backstory

Finally, a new organic arrival from Brazil, one of our favorite origins. I'm ashamed to say that I don't know much about this coffee other than the obvious, which is to say its origin, and its organic certification. The sample was very pleasing, and the organic offerings far and few between this spring, so I jumped on this lovely coffee to fill the slot in our inventory.

So while I've admitted stupidity in terms of this coffee's pedigree, I can tell you that I have cupped it extensively over a range of roasts. We've decided to offer it at the Full City level, i.e., a hair north of medium roast. This is the point where the big, chocolatey body is maximum, and since this coffee doesn't possess a lot of fruity or floral nuance, we really lose nothing by showing off its big, bass side.

Not only is this a great filter coffee, it makes a lovely, single-origin espresso that is great alone or in milk-based espresso drinks.
