Tasting Notes:
A cool cup of Mexican coffee with unique (to Mexico) processing that leaves a semi-unique cup profile. Not fruity like the natural but fuller bodied with more complex tones than the washed processed. Dependent on roast; lighter roasts will have hints of acidity, a little herbal spice with a more nutty/chocolaty undertone and a nice sweet edge, as the cool cools one can detect a soft fruit note but its pretty faint. Darker roasts get nice and full bodied, low acidity and retain the sweet edge. Pushing the roast mellows the herbal spice notes to create a nice big bodied and smooth cup with a sweeter edge. A lovely daily drinker medium to dark.
Roasting Notes:
A nice full city roast (strong medium) was our favorite but works very nicely light to dark. Medium to low chaff and even roasting. Way dark tends to get pretty roasty and more edgy but right on second crack, smooth and defined.
