Cupping Notes
A new price-point gem for a new season at Peregrine! You're going to love this Brazil!
Being the largest coffee producer in the world, Brazil has a high ceiling, but also a low floor when it comes to quality, because of the quantity. Most people in the world who have been drinking coffee for any considerable length of time have likely consumed coffee from Brazil. Much of that coffee has likely been unimpressive and (potentially) homogenous in flavor.
But, this coffee is so stellar, and thanks to our friends at Covoya, we can offer it as a new price-point "introduction" to specialty coffee.
Here's what we're tasting:
Milk Chocolate. This coffee is super chocolatey... like a rich, creamy milk chocolate! It can be a "gimme" note, but this coffee does what it does well!
Almond Biscotti. What goes better with coffee than biscotti? Perhaps a coffee that already has delicious notes of toasted almonds within? This is how some of the sweetness plays out, with just a bit of nuttiness.
Dried Apricot. Our barista/bagger Nick nailed this note to the wall! There's a slightly sweet note here that reminds us of peaches, apricots, and other "stone fruits", but with more analysis, we notice it's more intense... like dried fruits. We love this dried apricot note that's definitely a result of the natural process.
