Syrupy sweetness is marked by fruited top notes, apple filling, pear, brown sugar, and the slight bittering of fruit peel. Dark roasts show notes of dark chocolate with a hint of plum. City to Full City+.
Full Cupping Notes
At City+ roast level, the ground coffee had fragrant notes of dark molasses and fruits, like raisin and dried date pieces, with pleasantly bittersweet dark chocolate behind it. Pouring hot water on the grounds brought up a sweet brown sugar candy note, with a hint of baked apple. The brewed coffee had apple-y fruit notes too, like desserts filling made with apple, pear and brown sugar, as well as a slight bittering note that reminded me of pear skins. Sweetness is syrupy and so is the mouthfeel, with notes of simple syrup cooling to fruited accents of dried stone fruit, and very nice malic acidity. Full City roasts are sufficiently sweet as well, not at all smokey with roast tones, and offers profiles of rich dark chocolate bar, along with quiet accents of plum sauce, and tamarind.

Origin & Farm Notes
This lot is from a member of Rioja family, who manage several small coffee farms a Perlamayo Huabal. This particular lot is from the small, 1 hectare farm called La Guaba, managed by Emma Rioja. Like the rest of the Rioja family, she grew up working her family farm, and this land was passed down to her from her father some 10 years ago. Since then, she's continued to maintain a mix of cultivars, like Caturra, Costa Rica and Nacional. The farm sits at 1877 meters above sea level, and the colder climate lends to longer fermentation times. After harvesting the cherries from the trees, they first "rest" the coffee for around a day and a half before pulping the seeds of the outer cherries. Then the coffee is fermented in plastic bags for 2 days. The processing seems to support the moderate fruit flavors and syrupy sweetness found in the cup. She produces around 40 quintales of coffee each harvest, which means these 10 bags are roughly 1/3 of her coffee from last year.
