Looking at the bag, a thought immediately sprang to my mind: “This totally looks like M&M’s”. This definitely influenced my experience, as after opening it, the smell reminded me of a bag of sweet chocolates. The tasting experience was similar: this coffee was as sweet as actual M&M’s. A perfect brew to lift your spirits during long workdays. ...
This one is a very comfortable all-rounder that I’d recommend to anyone willing to sip their daily coffee while doing something else, like working or reading. Lacava doesn’t disappoint, and the price is appropriate for the quality it offers.
Although the bag suggests the roastery is very serious about their craft, I couldn’t say it was an enjoyable experience. The experimental processing method (fermenting with the lulo fruit) might have introduced non-coffee-specific flavors, which I consider a downside.
The first yeast-fermented coffee I’ve tried. An exceptional experience. Beyond the flavors noted on the label, there’s a distinct wheat beer note.
The complex processing method - including a 6-day anaerobic fermentation, 3-week sun exposure, and washing - adds remarkable depth to the flavor profile, though it does impact the price. However, I would prefer omitting the citrus peels to maintain the coffee’s pure, unadulterated taste.
This coffee tastes (and looks!) almost exactly like a rum praline. Generally, I’m not a fan of alcohol notes, but in this case, they’re bold and harmonize perfectly with the other flavors. Non-coffee notes resulting from experimental processing are evident, though.
Careful, this is coffee cherry husk!
