A real IYKYK coffee - we're massive fans of what Mario does, with excellent presentation of the Mejorado genetic expression we've seen year after year. Mario has been selectively breeding and propagating plants on his farm, selecting within the Mejorado phenotypes to find the best adapated to the El Meridiano microclimate. This year, Mario has extended the fermentation time - to great effect.
We’re tasting: Soft and sweet aromatics - butterscotch, apple, & blackcurrant leaf; in the cup it's full of gentle orange blossom florals, fuji apple, darjeeling tea & panela (that classic intense sugary Mejorado sweetness). As it cools, the citrus acidity becomes more defined alongside the sweetness, becoming like lemon curd.
