CUP PROFILE: Stone Fruits, Honeysuckle + Tropical • Savory
Farm: Finca El Pariaso / Diego Bermudez
This coffee is full of fruit and florals, a cup that shifts from bold intensity to playful sweetness. The wet aroma bursts with notes of strawberry, floral, apple juice, and a candy-like lemon-lime tartness—like opening a fresh pack of Life Savers. As the coffee cools, it transforms into lavender, mango, and passionfruit, evoking tropical Kool-Aid and bright citrus candies.
In the first sips, expect a tropical fruit-forward punch with a vivid, almost electric acidity. Lemon-lime, yellow Life Savers, and sweet tarts dominate the hot cup. As it cools, the structure softens into rounder, juicier tones of orange and mango, with a lingering sweetness that keeps you coming back for more. This one is a favorite for those who love expressive coffees.
