    I cupped this twice, once almost a month ago, and once yesterday. I scored it a 4.5 last month and 4 yesterday. These are some really nice, aromatic beans with a chocolate scent. I got satsuma/orange acidity, cocoa, and caramel. There was some complexity but it didn't all pull together for me. The second time I made it it was lemon/caramel. Smooth yet with some complexity, a fun coffee.

    Cupping Method:Better extraction was 196F, 202g of water and 12g of coffee. This was part of Leaderboard S13. I guessed that it was an Ecuadorian Typica (it's a Mexican Typica).

    This is a rather "light" light roast. Balanced, smooth, but lacking the complexity I was hoping for. The flavor profile prominently features honey with a nice acidity.

    Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip, cream with no sweetener

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Mexico
Mexican specialty coffee is marked by its diverse growing regions, rich volcanic soil, and varied microclimates. These coffees often showcase mild acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including chocolate, nuts, and subtle fruit notes. Once treated as commodity beans, Mexico's shade-grown Arabica is benefitting from a more nuanced examination of its micro-terrain.
Bean Source Region: Oaxaca
Oaxacan coffee has lush mountains, rugged valleys, and fertile soils with altitudes of up to 2000 MASL. Oaxacan coffee has rich chocolate notes, nutty undertones, and delicate floral nuances, often complemented by subtle smoky or spicy notes.
