Primavera

Tasting notes

About this bean

Primavera is a medium roast from Alma Coffee, sourced from Honduras. It is prepared using the honey method. Honey processing leaves some of the sticky mucilage on the bean during drying, sitting between washed clarity and natural fruit intensity. Medium roasts balance origin character with developed sweetness from caramelisation. They are generally the most forgiving roast level for espresso. The roaster lists tasting notes of Blackberry Jam, Chocolate Wafer and Vanilla. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 12 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 8.2 out of 10 across 12 ratings.
