Lake & Bloom

Tasting Notes:  Fig - Cherry - Almond - Dark Chocolate

Lake & Bloom, offered by Ruby Coffee Roasters, is a classic example of a washed-process coffee. In the world of specialty coffee, the washed method—where the fruit flesh is removed before drying—is often celebrated for its ability to highlight the inherent characteristics of the bean, resulting in a clean, crisp cup profile. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward intense, jammy fruit notes, washed coffees are frequently prized for their clarity and balanced acidity.

This specific lot features tasting notes of fig, cherry, almond, and dark chocolate. These descriptors fall into the fruit and nut categories of the flavor wheel, providing a structured and approachable experience for the drinker.

Lake & Bloom serves as a refined showcase of how careful post-harvest handling can produce a sophisticated and nuanced cup.
