au naturale
Seth Sez: "This is an incredibly clean coffee, clear with the flavor of chocolate malt and deep sweet cherry. When hot the coffee seems deceptively sweet, as it cools the flavor develops a more round and robust character. A strong sharp distinct taste of ripe coffee cherry pervades the entire cup. The aroma is particularly fresh sweet cherry, imagine sniffing a freshly opened cherry coke cola and biting a chocolate malt-ball, and you have an idea of what I'm talking about!"
I Sez: "What he said."
Note: Co-ops ensure that farmers get a fair trade price for their coffee beans.

No doubt the nuances of flavor have something to do with the aroma that wafts over one's olfactory senses. And Seth Appell apparently has this special gift of smell.
As for me, I appreciate that the tastes of his specialty coffees now trump that of my past long-standing favorite of Yuban. The difference is astoundingly delightful.
It has been a while since enjoying the Costa Rican coffee. Every couple weeks it seems there are a couple new coffees to try. Seth's description of them make them all the more inviting.
I really thought this post was going to be about something else.
I'm just sayin'.
