Nayarit — Mexico
Mexico Terruño Nayarita
Top Grade Co-op
Flavor Profile
Nutty/Malt • Lemon/Lime • Hint of Chocolate
A cool cup of Mexican coffee with unique (to Mexico) processing that leaves it far from the normal Mexican cup profile. Nice and sweet upfront with fruity aromatics, hints of more citric fruit in the cup especially at lighter roasts. Bakers chocolate, malt, smoke and a bit of nuttiness comprise the darker tones. Very dependent on roast, lighter roasts will be filled with more citric floral notes and a nutty dry chocolate undertone, medium roasts are balanced and bring out some hints of darker chocolate, with the acidity/floral tones greatly muted. Darker roasts pick up an almost barrel aged tones like you would find in beer or scotch and turn a bit smoky.
Roasting Notes
A Classic, Reliable Mexican Bean
A nice full city roast we thought to be the best. Works very nicely at the city to full city roasts level. Way dark tends to get a pretty funky twinge, we recommend the Washed Processed for into 2nd crack roasts.
