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:
Karol and her husband Diego Leguiazmo are young members of Monkaaba. The producer run, collectivist projects appears frequently across our menu for both their progressive mandate and inedible coffee. Karol and Diego Karol are two of the founding members, funding the groups's farm based roasting and cupping lab, that helps separate lots and provide invaluable feedback for producers. She continues to work at the lab, overseeing physical analysis and roasting coffee along with Karen
Burbano and Judith Ortega. 

Karol's coffee connections run deep, as she is the daughter-in-law of Arnulfo Leguizamo, past Cup of Excellence winner who has appeared on the Quietly menu previously. It speaks to her understanding of unique are rare varietal lots, like this Sidra!

FLAVOUR:
This cup is heavy with a floral spice, think cinnamon or orange blossom that quickly goes to tropical notes of mango, pineapple, and papaya. The finish is refreshing with a nice citrus flavour, think lime or sprite, which is paired with a deeper note of sweet spice, think fig newton or molasses cookie. Vibrant but with such layered subtle floral and fruit notes, there is a reason Sidra lots are our absolute favourite at Quietly.
