Comment

With lower acidity levels, the woody and earthy base notes become more apparent giving it a bracken-like flavour and the saltiness comes to the fore. The general flavour of limes remains. Add tequila for a coffee margarita?
A tad under-extracted for my liking.

Sweet, Acidic

Flavour

Primarily top end flavours with crisp, clean acidic notes of lime and grapefruit. Some underlying stone fruit, roaster notes plums; less so in this shot.

Comment

Lovely, crisp, atypical coffee from Bolivia. And that alone is enough to justify drinking it. Was good brewed; better on espresso. Good in pretty much all espresso coffees.

Comment

While this coffee is good, maybe even really good, it is still its ability to confound expectations – rather than outright flavour – that makes it a coffee of note.
