Product Description

Pulcal Inteligente is a sweet and balanced coffee, with subtle top-note complexity that always makes it a real highlight in the lineup of Central American coffees. The dry fragrance shows strength in raw sugar sweetness, along with a very nice tea leaf note, and hint of vanilla. We found roasts beyond City+ see a boost in sweetness in the aroma that billowed from the steam of the wetted grounds. When hot, the brewed coffee shows depth of sweetness, ribbons of toffee, caramel, and butterscotch, a dash of brown sugar, and delicate hints of herbal tea. The coffee cools to flavor notes of toasted sugar, a zesty lemon accent, and elegant apple-like acidity. Full City roasts bring out the bittersweet chocolate flavors, like high % cacao chocolate bar with roasted nibs, and a faint hint of dark fruit. Pulcal brews very well, a real crowd-pleasing coffee, that also doubles wonderfully as a single origin espresso ('SO'). Full City shots produce incredibly viscous mouthfeel, dense dark chocolate flavors are accented by a spark of lemon, and a dark fruit tone in the background that adds interest.
