Cupping Chart for Artisan Roast - CPCK Co-Operative DR Congo - Washed

Getting product details...
Processing in the DRC is similar in style to much of East Africa - small holders deliver their ripe coffee cherries to centralised washing and processing stations where it's further sorted before being pulped. he resulting cup in the CPCK coffee bears all the hallmarks of high quality, high grown red bourbon coffee from the great lakes region. Bold and beautiful red berry flavours of cherry and pomegranate sit alongside treacle toffee and chocolate. These flavours are supported by a syrupy sweet and viscous mouth feel and lead onto a structured black grape like acidity.
This syrupy body and bold fruit character lends the coffee very well to espresso. We've been working on a brew ratio of 1:2.1 at 93 degrees centigrade at the roastery to bring out the cherry and treacle toffee along with a little sweet tamarind on the finish. As a filter the finer more subtle characteristics come into play - a subtle yet heady florality works very well with the cherry notes and structured high quality grape like acidity.
