Cupped by our partner IHCAFE
Cupping verifies, it doesn’t define. The engine’s chemistry-based prediction stands on its own; IHCAFE’s cupping confirms it at the table.
La Peña Pacas · Parainema Washed leads with acidity and flavor for a pronounced, expressive profile. Expect a quieter mouthfeel presence.

Predicted sensory axes · 0–10
Acid load sits near the comparison, giving enough lift without dominating.
Restrained aromatics. Let clarity, not perfume, lead the profile.
Clean, well-defined flavor potential. Focus the roast around the cup’s own character.
Sugars are well developed, so sweetness arrives without pushing the roast.
A light mouthfeel. Position it as transparency, strongest in filter.

Roasting directions from this lot's chemistry · percentiles against this auction
- 01Clean sweetness: glucose and sucrose
Clean, bright sweetness associated with glucose is complemented by the caramel-like sweetness of sucrose.
Data rationale Glucose 87th percentile · Monosaccharides 86th percentile · Sucrose 85th percentile
- 02Bright, fresh acidity: organic acids
Abundant organic acids support bright, fresh acidity. Aim to preserve the acid profile.
Data rationale Organic acids 90th percentile · Acidity potential 69th percentile
- 03Fruit and malt complexity: diterpenes
Diterpenes are above the auction average, pointing toward additional flavor complexity.
Data rationale Diterpenes 73rd percentile
- 04Clarity and a smooth finish
Low lipid levels suggest a clear, clean mouthfeel, while low caffeine supports a finish with less bitterness.
Data rationale Lipids 7th percentile · Caffeine 15th percentile
