Well-balanced with a nuanced side that adds interest to the cup. Raw sugar sweetness, brisk acidity (light roasts), hints of apple, spiced chocolate, cocoa nibs, and toffee almond. City to Full City+. Good for espresso.

Full Cupping Notes:
Monte Brisas is a very approachable coffee with a little something extra in the light roasts, and well suited for dark roasts too. A blend of honey and raw sugar notes melds well together in the dry fragrance of City roasts. The wet crust on the light roast demonstrated fragrant sweetness, flanked by hints of golden raisin, and brown sugar in the steam. Honeyed sweetness comes through in the brew and leads to an aromatic finish. A hint of red apple lends a juicy quality to the cup, and a note of English Breakfast tea brings out brisk acidity. This coffee has a creaminess in texture regardless of roast level, though dialed up quite a bit at Full City. Darker roasts are chocolatey at their center, with wisps of toffee almond, spiced chocolate, and a sweet smokey note in the finish.
