This cup has a very attractive, clean-fruited character from start to finish. In the dry fragrance, there is a mild cherry-vanilla and hint of coffee flower scent, along with hazelnut roast tones. Adding the hot water to brew, wet aromatics reveal caramel and cane sugar with a touch of peach and nut. In the cup the fruit has ample stone fruit characteristics (peach and apricot), malic sweetness, nutty roast tones and medium body. It’s a mild cup overall, lightly fruited, very refined overall. The aftertaste is slightly drying, but sweet and pleasant.

This very interesting coffee starts with three very distinct stages of aroma: first the sweet fruit smell of the whole bean; then the flower perfume of the brewed bean; finally, the chocolate-caramel cup. The flavors are touches of sweet fruit, hinting toward apricot, wrapped with caramel. There is a combination of woody-nuttiness too (think cedar and hazelnuts) that continues into the finish. The mouthfeel is smooth with medium-to-big body. It is a very balanced cup, with light acidity and is the best coffee we have had from Mexico in recent memory.
