Product Description

La Florida is a coffee that accentuates honey sweetness all the way through from ground coffee to brewed cup. The dry fragrance has a smell of raw honey up front, followed by brown sugar and raisin smells that remind me of oatmeal raisin cookies. Adding hot water builds on these aspects, with a malt sugar touch through the crust, honey cake with cinnamon on the break. Brewing, the coffee displays a solid honey to muscovado sugar sweetness, a layered complexity that builds as the cup temperature cools. A tea accent comes to fore as well, reminiscent of steeped chamomile flower with red honey. The back end shows a subtle walnut note, with roasted nibs, both playing into long finish. The acidity is complex, malic up front, then shifting toward a tart cranberry-like mouthfeel, providing contrast to the heavy sweetness. A dynamite espresso shot: flavors of German chocolate cake, Dutch cocoa, and a lemon icing zing. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
