Tasting notes | Papaya, Citrus fruits, Sugarcane, Sweet Spices

We are honored and excited to introduce you to a very special lot from our dear friend at Pillcocaja in Ecuador for the second year in a row. Together, we are pursuing more quality, traceability, and innovation. This is a series of 3 nano-lots from Pillcocaja for anyone who wishes to board a sensorial discovery trip.

Lot #2 - Golden Honey Typica

Harvested by up to 40 women from the valley, this coffee was pulped and placed directly on the most ventilated African beds in the room, all on a single level to ensure homogeneity of drying. The golden honey process expresses a radiant golden color as it dries and is a representative of Pillcocaja for its intense flavors of tropical fruits from the area.

This coffee is an invitation to travel. When you start a new journey, you always have a foot home. Your thoughts, habits, and sweet comfort are still similar, except that you've built up some courage to hit the road.

This lot is the perfect introduction to Pillcocaja.

The complexity of this coffee is better enjoyed slowly to fully grasp the aromas and flavors as they evolve. This coffee will first remind you of your sweetest childhood memory with sweet baking spices. The first sips will take you to the road with a bright structured acidity supported by mandarin and lemon notes followed by a soft tropical fruit sweetness like papaya. Moving on, you will enjoy the silkiness of the mouthfeel making you want to drink it more. As the day ends and the coffee cools a bit, a rewarding fruity finish complements an increased sweetness from the sugarcane note.
