Review: Naranja Y Amarillo From MadCap Coffee Company


  • MadCap Coffee Company


    The Coffee

    Beans: Naranja Y Amarillo
    Roaster: MadCap Coffee Company

    Equipment/Brewing Method

    Brew Method: Aeropress
    Grinder/Grind Size: Baratza Virtuoso Preciso – Dial 26
    Bean/Water Ratio: 15/220g 1 minute brew time

    Notes:
    Sweet papaya flows from the cup with a sweetness that flows through the air followed by the smell of a flower garden. Each sip begins with a tart, but juicy acidity and finishes with a sweetness that hugs your tongue. Papaya soon emerges from the cup and greets your tastebuds with such delicacy.

    Bright acidity, deep mango and papaya ~ MadCap Coffee Company

    Verdict:
    The first coffee I tried from MadCap’s Varietal Series was Elefante which holds dear to my heart. I didn’t know what to expect when Naranja Y Amarillo arrived. Would it be just as good as the Elefante?

    Well, the answer is yes.

    This coffee is wonderful, juicy, tart, and sweet. There’s such a delicate balance of each note in this coffee that I grew to love.

    Another great coffee from the Rodriguez farm.

    Score:
    91/100pts
