The fragrance possessed a scent of cinnamon roll, spice tea, and a hint of cocoa. The sweetness is noteworthy, and really comes through when pouring hot water on the grounds. There's a very nice cooked brown sugar note that comes up in the steam, with raisin, and dusting of baking spice. Initially, the cup flavors at City roast level are sweet with a note of brown sugar cookies and brisk, tea-like brightness. A flavor of honey-sweetened black tea came to mind while drinking it, and feels well-structured by moderate level of acidity. The coffee cools to notes of honey cake, cinnamon hot cross buns, and cocoa. Full City pulls out the low tones, though underlying sweetness remains resolute. Flavors had an abundance of bittersweet chocolate, like Dutch cocoa, and dark chocolate bar with bittering nibs. An exceedingly sweet Costa Rican coffee that will serve you well as an everyday drinker. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
