Blind Assessment

Deeply rich, brightly floral. Blueberry jam, grapefruit, hyssop, honeysuckle, cocoa powder in aroma and cup. Vibrantly sweet acidity; light, satiny mouthfeel. The resonant, richly drying finish opens with grapefruit notes, then deepens to sweet complexity (blueberry, cocoa powder) in the long.

Notes

Produced entirely from trees of the traditional Typica variety of Arabica at El Sitio farm. This is a wet-processed or “washed” version, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Founded in 1990, Lexington Coffee is an award-winning artisan roasting company based in Virginia. Lexington’s focus on fresh, flavorful and sustainable coffee is reflected in its motto, “Fresh, Flavorful & Fair.” Visit www.lexingtoncoffee.com or call 800-322-6505 for more information.

Bottom Line

A lovely, classic coffee from the relatively unrecognized origin of Ecuador: bright and balanced, with a sweet florality that envelopes chocolate and citrus notes.
