Blind Assessment

Tropical, deep, harmonious. Passionfruit, star jasmine, myrrh, cocoa nib, pineapple saltwater taffy in aroma and cup. Bright, juicy acidity; crisp, syrupy mouthfeel. Resonantly fruity and floral finish.

Notes

Produced by Edwin Enrique Noreñ of Finca Campo Hermoso, entirely of the Castillo variety of Arabica, and processed by carbonic maceration (which involves fermenting the whole fruit in a sealed container that has been flushed with CO2) and co-fermenting with Pink Bourbon mosto and passionfruit, then dried with most of the fruit flesh remaining on the beans. 

Bottom Line

A floral and fruit extravaganza, with passionfruit and star jasmine notes leading the way, complicated by myrrh-like underpinnings.
