Blind Assessment

Bright, vibrantly sweet. Wild honey, dried plum, cocoa nib, pink grapefruit zest, lilac in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with crisply bright acidity; velvety-smooth mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned finish with undertones of wild honey and pink grapefruit zest.

Notes

Produced by Alberto and Diego Guardia of Hacienda Sonora entirely of the Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the honey method, in which the skins are removed from the fruit, but at least some of the sticky fruit flesh is allowed to dry on the beans. With more than 10 years of roasting experience, Regent strives to deliver coffee with care and purpose. Visit regentcoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

Produced by a farm known for its pioneering work in the honey methods of processing green coffee, this classic version of the type offers a focused sweetness, dried fruit notes and pretty florals.
