Peregrinations September 2009: Bolivia Alto Beni Cafe Cascada Jatum Kjari Peaberry
This unique organic peaberry from Café Cascada starts with an elegant combination of aromas of fruit and nuts. Once in the cup, the flavors include cocoa, a mix of tart and sweet cherries, nut meat, malt, and subtle hints of spice and herbs. The mouthfeel has a light and airy texture and is perfectly balanced, reminding one of chiffon. Although not overtly acidic, a welcome brightness emerges as it cools. The finish is long with cocoa and tart cherry tones. This is a superb, very well balanced coffee.
