San Roque is a natural mutation of Kenya's famous SL-28, that adapted itself to the growing conditions of Costa Rica. SL-28 itself was a Bourbon derivative developed in the 1930s by Scott Labs, in Kenya. The variety is best known for its winey profile, with tannic, fruity notes, bright highlights and somewhat dry finish. It has obvious complexity. A dominant flavor trait of San Roque is off cited as tasting a bit like cola.
Cup Characteristics: Big, fruity Natural that is powerful but very clean. Lots of florals were a surprising element here. Flavors of plum, tamarind, maple syrup, cola. In some aspects it plays as a Geisha. Very exotic and delicious.
