Product Description

This lot from has a dense sweetness of caramel and chocolate, and slight top notes that appear as the cup cools. The dry fragrance has a strong scent of chocolate/nougat (reminds me of Tootsie Roll candy), and with a bit of dried fruit underneath. It's welcoming for sure, and gets much 'bigger' with hot water. The wet grounds have a chocolate and honey bittersweetness, with smells of sundae toppings like butterscotch and caramel. The cup is dense in terms of mouthfeel, as well as in terms of dense dark chocolate flavors that come on strong from start to finish. There's a richness with flavors reminiscent of German chocolate cake, or maybe a flourless chocolate torte; sweet, and with focused, bittering cacao flavors anchoring the cup. Cherry-like acidity offers a nice backbone to the cup flavors, that as it cools include accent notes of dried cherry, apricot, and apple. Dona Evelia's coffee makes a wonderfully balanced and bodied cup, and doubles as outstanding SO espresso too. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
