Product Description

This peaberry lot from Mahiga brews up a refined cup profile, with clean sugary sweetness and fruit notes that punchy, and aromatic. The dry fragrance had a sweet smell of red fruit and berry tea, with notes of raw sugar, and a grapefruit peel accent added a fragrant aspect to the sweetness. The wet aromatics were nicely fruited as well, both my City and City+ roasts displayed compote-like fruits, pie filling, and stone fruits. The cup was bright, especially when roasted to City/City+, where a splash of berry-like acidity (tartaric) added a nice charge to the flavor profile. My City roast had a sweet-tart hint of apricot, and a juicy fruit punch note. There's a brown sugar flavor that brings out some cooked fruit notes too, like pineapple or peach upside down cake. Full City roasts offer surprisingly robust bittersweetness, a flavor of fine Dutch drinking cocoa, and the plump dark fruits are still very much a part of the profile too. I really enjoyed this coffee from a light City roast on up to Full City, but would not venture into 2nd crack. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
