Full Cupping Notes:

The dry fragrance showed restrained sweetness, dark sugar, brown spices and cocoa. The sweetness was more pronounced after pouring hot water on the grinds, with a scent of caramelized sugars, chocolate almond and a sprinkling of cinnamon. This all culminates to crowd pleasing flavors at a range of roast leves, simple to an extent, but delicious. Light roasts have a bit of caramel to the sweetness, with walnut and toasted almond accents, and acidity that adds a lemony sheen. Full City roasts bring out punchy cocoa and chocolate taffy flavors, with notes of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and bittering cocoa powder. The deeper roasts enhance Santa Ines' thick body too, which should translate very well as espresso.
