The Aramosa ‘pre-cultivar’ featured in this Education Lot is the result of a unique hybridization between two distinct species of the Coffea genus: Arabica and Racemosa. The result is a more drought tolerant and pest resistant plant that exhibits a vibrant cup character and a naturally lower-caffeine content. As with the majority of the natural process lots from Daterra, cherries for this lot were ‘dried on tree’ before being harvested and sorted. This cup has many of the fruit-forward flavors we’ve come to expect from these unique plant genetics: Plum and fruit taffy flavors with an herbal floral quality similar to rooibos tea or rosehip, followed by a sweet almond-like finish.
