There's a really delicious note of like a beautiful bitterness that's almost like a dark chocolate. And then I'm just getting velvet. It's so smooth and so beautiful.

I did feel a lot of that Mehorado brown candy sweetness right from the onset. In addition to that, there was an interesting honeyed sweetness in the finish.

Editor’s pick
The Barn Coffee Roasters · Costa Rica · West Valley · natural
a Costa Rica natural with strong cross-source agreement at an 85 Index
The Barn brings out a dense, fruit-forward profile from Volcan Azul that relies on heavy Caturra fruit rather than fermentation tricks. Expect a dense cup driven by dried fig, vanilla, and intense blueberry. With solid backing across enthusiast channels and a 94 buyer rating, this lot has the kind of independent verification you want before buying a natural.
