เอกวาดอร์ ลาปาปายา แอนแอโรบิก

The cherry note is so bright and jammy it almost tastes like a dessert, but that honey finish keeps it grounded and complex. I brewed it as a pour-over and the winey edge came through exactly as promised. Probably the most interesting bag I’ve had in months.

The cherry note really comes through in the cup, and that honey finish lingers nicely. It's a touch pricier than my usual bag, but the winey complexity makes it worth it for a weekend treat.

I wanted to love this one given the anaerobic process, and the winey undertone is definitely there. But the honey finish I kept reading about felt more like a fleeting afterthought than a real presence in the cup. Solid if you're into experimental fermentations, just not a daily driver for me.
