SCA Score: 87.75

Sensory Experience

Pineapple Peach Maple Syrup Jasmine

"A tropical explosion. This Natural Tabi dominates the table with intense notes of fresh pineapple and peach, rounded out by a sticky maple syrup sweetness."

🔥 Roaster's Insight

Bean Physics: Tabi is a large screen-size variety (inheriting the elongated Typica shape). These large beans require sufficient soak time to ensure heat penetrates the core evenly.
Natural Process: Despite the large size, the high sugar content makes them caramelize quickly on the outside. Monitor your Rate of Rise (RoR) closely entering First Crack.
Result: A stunning, complex cup that works beautifully as a high-end filter or a fruity, modern espresso.

About this Coffee

Elephant Heart is named after the Elephant Heart Plum, a distinct stone fruit known for its mottled skin and deep, ruby-red flesh. We chose this name because this Natural Tabi shares that exact profile: luscious, complex, and bursting with red fruit intensity.

Sourced from Gustavo Zuluaga at El Caney Estate, this Tabi variety (a cross between Typica, Bourbon, and Timor) combines the cup quality of ancient heirlooms with the resilience needed for organic farming. Processed as a Natural, it develops a deep, tropical sweetness reminiscent of ripe pineapple and the fruit it is named after.
