POSSIBLY MAYBE

CONTINGENCY IN A CUP:
Possibly Maybe is the wild card on our menu. There are no strict guidelines for it. Instead it is a celebration of emergent or underrepresented origins, or perhaps a sensory profile that veers far from its regional expectations, or simply it is a lot that is delightfully surprising! We call it contingency in a cup because the flavour profile presents what is 'neither necessary, nor impossible', which is also part of what makes coffee so fun. As Björk says in her song Possibly Maybe, "uncertainty excites me" because "who knows what is going to happen?" 

ORIGIN:
Arnulfo Leguizamo is understandably famous in specialty coffee circles. In 2011, he won first price in the Cup of Excellence with a record setting 94.05 score. He has been working as a leader in Colombian coffee since then. At the Asociación Los Naranjos, he is known for his generosity and openness as he helps fellow farmers with quality controls through cupping and insights into harvesting and processing. While at his El Faldon farm, he grows incredible coffee with his son Diego, who has started working as a farm manager.

If the Arnulfo Leguizamo name was not big enough of a draw, this is a Sidra lot! The origins of this dynamic varietal are hotly contested with the most common claim being that Sidra originates from a Nestlé coffee breeding facility in Ecuador. It is believed to be an 'unreleased' crossbreed between Typica and Bourbon; yet, other testing suggests similarities to Ethiopian varietals. Regardless, the reason it is so beloved is that it delivers intense botanical florals along with sticky fruit notes, which are often a mix of stone fruit and tropical flavours. 

FLAVOUR:
As our wild card, Possibly Maybe is a home for those cups that make you say, 'wait, what coffee is this?' Arnulfo Leguizamo's coffee is a perfect fit thanks to its big juicy and tropical flavour profile. The cup has huge aromatics that land on apple blossom and honeysuckle. The cup is super jammy, mixing some strawberry notes over big tropical flavours of mango and the zip of a ripe passion fruit. The finish is rich and clean with some more wine-forward berry flavours over a light and creamy caramel note.
