Full Cupping Notes
Doña Rosa's coffee showed fruited hints in light roasts that were delicate and bright, and honeyed sweetness proliferates in the finish. At City roast level, the smells found in the dry grounds were potent and sweet, red berry underscored by fragrant accents of panela, and dried fruit rollup. My Full City roast had a smell of chocolate syrup with a ribbon of red berry. Adding hot water raised a fruited sweetness in the wet grounds, apple cooked with honey, and a subtle berry tone was released in the steam. City roasts really brought out a honeyed sweetness in the cup too, lingering well into the finish, like creamy white honey, and aromatic honey comb. Fruit and spice notes build a complex flavor profile, with a mouth refreshing note of blackberry tea, and a hint of golden raisin. The sweet finish was marked by a black tea aspect that brought out some tannic bittering on the palate. Edging toward Full City roast level boosted low tones, bittersweet cocoa aspects, like rich chocolate brownies with a layer of berry sauce. We don't always have the opportunity to buy Doña Rosa's coffee, but it always tops the list when we do. Sure to please those chasing sweetness and soft fruited accents.

Origin & Farm Notes
This coffee is from the farm of Doña Maria Rosa, her farm Los Nogales tucked away in the hillside above the store her family operates in the town of San Antonio. Los Nogales is not reachable by car or motorcycle. A trail curls up around the side of the local school yard, then up, up, up for the better part of an hour to the reach the top at just shy of 2000 meters. During the picking season, Doña Rosa makes this trek daily at 5 am to organize labor for the day's picking, and to check on the coffee that was processed the previous day. In addition, her family also run the town store, as well as a coffee buying warehouse where farmers in the surrounding region can sell their coffee for a fair price. We've stayed with her several times, and the amount of work she puts into the farm, store, family, and guests is nothing short of incredible! Not surprising, the rest of the family are all involved in their own farms as well, the youngest with a plot named "La Salada", and Robinson manages a shared 10 hectare farm in the nearby village of Agua Blanca. Los Nogales is about 3 hectares in size, and they've planted 3 different cultivers: Caturra, Tabi, and Typica. Like many in the region, their beneficio consists of a manual de-pulper, and they have a 3 tank system involving separate tanks for fermentation, soaking, and a final wash before being carried down to their home solar dryers in the town below. Their farm is situated along a ridged valley, carbonero trees towering from the valley floor, and banana and balsa trees used for shade.
