Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Iris, vanilla, cocoa, & syrupy Region: Las Flores Varietal: Pacas & CatuaiCatuaíA Brazilian cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra: short, productive, storm-resistant. Sweet, mild, dependable — everywhere in Brazil and Central America. Process: NaturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. Recipes: Espresso: 1:2.5 | Filter: 1:17 About: This is our second year working with Balbina, our first female producer from Honduras. Last year her washedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Parainema was a big hit, but this year she wanted to try something different so she produced a small run of natural Parainema too. It has turned out very tasty indeed, plenty of sweet spice and purple fruit, a truly unique coffee. Balbina is driven and passionate about her coffee, making her a good fit into the Proud Mary family. We look forward to a fun and fruitful relationship for years to come. Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours. To ensure freshness of coffee, best to order early in the week as postal services and couriers do not operate on weekends.
