This lot from the Boqueroncito farm is versatile, and quite sweet. The dry grounds of lighter roasts have hints of loose-leaf tea atop raw sugars, like demerara, and sucanat, that at Full City is traded for deeper caramelizing sugars tones, and a note of raisins. Adding hot water brings on a saturated sweetness, and a hint of dried date. This is a superb drinking coffee. City+ brews show immense sweetness, brown sugar, along with aromatic spice impression. As the cup cools, Boqueroncito opens up to layers of caramel, cinnamon-cocoa, red raisin, and a pleasantly moderate acidic impression of lemon. The coffee has incredible body in the middle roasts, lightly fruited, but cocoa roast tones fill out the middle and finish. It's also a near-perfect single origin espresso in my opinion. Full City and FC+ roasts construct a shot with layered bittersweet flavors, syrupy chocolate, drinking cocoa, and bittering to the aftertaste. There are some very nice fruited accents like dark berry, and a note of lemon rind that punches through the bittersweetness.
