The smoke has cleared, the bids are in, and PT’s Coffee is proud to announce our 2010 offering from Hacienda La Esmeralda. After tasting each lot, we knew that there were two coffees that we had to have: Mario Carnaval and Mario San Jose. Both of these spectacular lots are harvested from the region that traditionally produces the best geisha lots from Hacienda La Esmeralda. There is something about these spectacular micro-climates that creates a flavor profile unlike any other.
Mario Carnaval (last year our roast received a 96 from Coffee Review) was harvested during the peak of the harvest season: February. Out of all of the lots, Mario Carnaval stood out as our clear favorite. In tasting the samples, Mario Carnaval seemed to jump off the table. Its beautifully bright acidity and mesmerizing floral notes exceeded our expectations: this is what it is all about. This experience is why people go to so much trouble just to have one cup of Hacienda La Esmeralda Special.
