Bolivia d'Montaña: "Cenaproc" Micro Lot
Grower-Certified Organic
Roast Color: Medium to Dark
Prep: Washed
Body: Heavy
Flavor Profile: Nutty, bold, sassafras and ginger root
Cupping Notes: Sweet, smooth, and creamy. Reminds me of old-fashioned coffee hard candy with that delightful, lingering sweetness.
What I'm roasting today is an excellent example of how agricultural products can change from season to season. Last years' crop delivered a surprisingly musky coffee to the shop, but the Bolivia d'Montaña has evolved into something much more exquisite, sweet, and smooth.
This is one of the creamiest coffees I've ever tasted, almost as though there's cream in the cup straight out of the espresso machine. Beneath the crema are hints of cedar shavings and cinnamon, with a beautiful and distinct flavor of creme brulee and raw honey.
Cupping this reminds me of old-fashioned coffee-flavored hard candy with that delightful, lingering sweetness. Coffee this luscious is an unusual treat, and I am loving it!
