From Phil & Sebastian

Fig Mood starts to introduce more fruit into the espresso. Its hallmark is its fig-like sweetness, but the coffee brings in juicy cherry liveliness and it's rounded out with candied pecan - bringing balance, sweetness and stone fruits. It's designed for those that want to delve further into the fruity espresso territory but still enjoying grounding notes of chocolate, candied pecans and cola. 

The coffee in Fig Mood espresso right now comes from an awesome father-son duo from Santa Rosa in Tarrazu, Costa Rica. You can read more about them below.

This espresso offering from Revolver Coffee highlights a specific lot from the Santa Rosa producer in the Costa Rica · Tarrazu region. Processed using the honey method, this coffee bridges the gap between washed and natural techniques, often resulting in a balanced cup that retains significant sweetness and body. Understanding the nuances of processing methods is essential for identifying how these techniques influence the final profile, which in this instance features distinct notes of fig, cherry, and candied pecan. When evaluating such complex flavor profiles, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for articulating the specific sensory experiences found in the cup. As an espresso, this selection showcases the potential for honey-processed beans to deliver a rich, dessert-like quality that remains grounded in the traditional characteristics of its high-elevation origin.
