Hacienda Mama Teresa

Tasting notes

About this bean

Hacienda Mama Teresa is a medium-dark roast from Giraffe, sourced from Venezuela. It features the Castillo variety, processed 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-dark roasts lean further into caramelised sweetness and body, with origin character starting to give way to roast character. The roaster lists tasting notes of Blauwe bes, Rode appel and nougat. 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 6.3 out of 10 across 12 ratings.
