Sensory Description:
Sadayana is an expression of the terroir of West Java, where oftentimes it’s hidden by wet hulling, it is brought out with crisp acidity and clarity of washed process in this coffee. The dialed cup is soft and full-bodied with a chocolate forward flavor profile with notes of honey, almond, vanilla, and mandarin orange.
Dial Notes:
Under-extracted brews of Sadayana will be sour without any sweetness to balance. The citrus notes will taste like underripe citrus in the under extracted brew. I found over-extracted brews to lack the delicate notes like vanilla and honey while predominantly tasting like a bitter browned butter. With Indonesian coffees having such spice and chocolate notes it’s easy to mistake over-extraction for being dialed, however this coffee, due to it being a washed process, should have a bright, crisp acidity.
Well-dialed cups of Calagual are dynamic in experience, a lovely combination of process and terroir. Grown in Santa Rosa, Guatemala, this anaerobic natural pache opens with a soft and bright apricot and raspberry yoghurt, reflecting its process, and finishes with a vanilla and cashew-like sweetness and texture. There is clarity to the flavor profile, while carrying a velvety texture and slightly thicker mouthfeel.
A well-dialed La Maravilla La Cumbre is a great example of what we look for in our Orange label series. It’s remarkably chocolatey, with the creamy sweetness and richness of a good cup of hot chocolate. Perceived acidity is relatively low, and the cup leans on flavors of vanilla, caramel, and dried dates. Milk chocolate lingers on the palate, giving the coffee a long, pleasant finish. Sweet and full-bodied, it works as an everyday coffee on either pour over or espresso.
For a natural processed coffee, well-dialed cups of San Joaquin are quite chocolatey. And much like our other El Salvador offerings, this coffee is very sweet and has a nice creamy texture. You can expect a lot of candy bar flavors like milk chocolate, caramel, and vanilla. There’s also an underlying red fruit characteristic that adds complexity to the cup. Pay special attention to subtle notes of cherry and red apple when dialing. On the finish, you’ll find some cola, maple syrup, and pecan-like notes.
