A really nice fruity cold brew, a tasty streak of blackberry with a nutty/caramel/brown sugarcharacter front of palate (pretty subtle). Acidity is just right.Cupping Method:From the Madrid store in Cuatro Caminos.

Juicy, interesting roast. Starts off for me with blackcurrant and black tea with a bit of grapefruit. Some natural sugar (maple syrup mentioned by the roaster is apt). Then you really get the citrus, with lime and perhaps a touch of rosemary like herbaceousness. The lime for some will be a bit much.
Its an interesting journey lining up with some of the better Guatemalans coming out these days.Cupping Method:Pourover, Hario v60

As good a matcha latte as I can ever remember having. Grade of matcha is really good and oat milk selection works super well.Cupping Method:At Syra Orense, Madrid

Syra has really well trained baristas. A chai latte (or any drink with added calories) is a rare treat for me, but Syra has earned my trust. The chai latte was well-executed and not too sweet, as they often are in the US. I wish they'd use a bit more ice but I think one or two large cubes is the standard in Spain.Cupping Method:Oat milk. Actually got to the office and dropped an espresso capsule to make it dirty and it still held up.

This is a solid Ethiopian light pourover, but I'm not totally blown away. All the really good characteristics of Ethiopian are there, black tea, raspberry, peach. This roast just has a strong herbaceousness that's throughout the palate when hot. They have herbes-de-grace or rue on the bag. That could be it. That's much more muted as it cools, and then it's so light and fruity it's almost chuggable.Cupping Method:Bought at Syra store on Calle Orense in Madrid and made 4x with a Hario v60
