Origin: Fondo Paez Cooperative, Valle de Cauca Department, western Colombia.
Notes: This
coffee is certified organically grown. Although the words "Fair Trade"
appear as well on the label of the attractive 12-ounce valve-topped
can, the trade-marked seal of TransFair USA, the sole American
certifier for the Fair-trade Labeling Organizations International
(FLO), does not. Fondo Paez is a cooperative of 550 farmers from the
indigenous Paez people of central Colombia. Kickapoo Coffee is a
Wisconsin micro-roaster devoted to organic and fair-trade principles
and coffees. Visit www.kickapoocoffee.com or call 608-637-2022 for more information.
Blind Assessment: Sweet-toned,
delicately complex aroma: flowers, hints of honey, cedar and tart
cherry, perhaps chocolate. In the cup very gently acidy, light in body
but buoyant and silky in mouthfeel, and giddily floral- and honey-toned
with complicating hints of chocolate, tart coffee fruit and
Riesling-like white wine. Fades rather quickly in the finish but
exquisitely clean with memories of chocolate and flowers. An
exceptionally pure and balanced coffee.
Who should drink it: A refined and refreshing coffee with great natural sweetness and balance. Avoid adding anything to it.
