Description

From Finca La Laja, a shade-grown farm in the mountains of Tlaltetela, Veracruz, this washed SHG EP coffee is one of the most versatile in our lineup. Caturra and Garnica grow under shade on rich volcanic soils, and the cup is bright and light on the palate with an almost lemony lift, balanced by milk chocolate, roasted nuts and caramel sweetness, with florals and a hint of stone fruit. The citrus stays balanced as it cools, never sharp, and the coffee performs well from light to dark roasts. Cupping Notes: Flavor: Lemon and bright citrus with milk chocolate, sweet cocoa and roasted nuts, caramel sweetness, light florals and a hint of stone fruit, finishing clean like lemonade. Body: Medium and well rounded. Acidity: Bright citrus acidity that stays balanced as the cup cools. Aroma: Sweet cocoa, toasted nut and soft florals.
