Don Senel Milenio - Costa Rica, Scenery | 200g

Slow Dried Natural, Milenio - Best brewed with Filter/Turbo Espresso
3 key notes: [Cola Cubes, Raspberry Liqueur, Syrupy]

Returning to our offer for a second season, we're stoked to once again be working with Don Senel and his son Allan. Our first release is one of our favourite F1 hybrids - Milenio (a Sarchimor x Rume Sudan cross). Choosing to pick at an exceptionally ripe to almost overripe level, and intentionally slowing down the drying process - there is clearly a lot of wild, yeast driven dry fermentation going on with this coffee, and while it's certainly on the funkier side of what we offer, it's got a huge amount going on - we find a wildly sweet cup + phosphoric, sparkly acidity.

We're tasting:
Heavy process forward aromatics - we're finding cola cubes, blackcurrant jam and molasses. In the cup it's sweet, sticky and a little bit boozy - reminding us of raspberry liqueur, alongside ginger cake & dried pineapple, with the sweet date & dried fig notes of freshly drying coffee pulp. As it cools becoming a little more warm spice & boozy - much like a dark 'n' stormy.
