ICON 68 - Finca Maputo, Hakuna Matata Sidra Honey
“raspberry · pomegranate · floral · hibiscus · lemongrass · juicy”
Tasting notes
In the roaster’s words
The second of our lots from Ecuador this season is a beautiful Sidra from Maputo. This exotic and highly prized variety has its roots in a now closed breeding facility, allegedly linked to Nestlé, located in Pichincha province, the origin of this lot. This meticulously honey processed example is truly special and it shows loads of complexity. We get juicy red fruits like raspberry and pomegranate with delightful floral notes like hibiscus and soft lemongrass undertones. A stunning coffee from an exceptional farm.
