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.
El Plan Parainema Washed leads with acidity and flavor for a pronounced, expressive profile. Expect a quieter mouthfeel presence.
Leonela Villanueva farms El Plan at 1400 m in Peña Blanca, Honduras.
NIR-derived indices · EGGSTONE engine
Predicted sensory axes · 0–10
Acid load sits near the comparison, giving enough lift without dominating.
Average aromatic feedstock, with room to lift florals through Maillard control.
Flavor complexity tracks the comparison.
Sweetness feedstock sits near the comparison.
A light mouthfeel. Position it as transparency, strongest in filter.

Roasting directions from this lot's chemistry · percentiles against this auction
- 01Sugar and acid in balance: monosaccharides, glucose, sucrose and organic acids
Both sugars and organic acids rank exceptionally high. Aim to express deep sweetness alongside bright acidity. Flavor potential also ranks very high.
Data rationale Monosaccharides 98th percentile · Glucose 96th percentile · Organic acids 97th percentile · Flavor potential 90th percentile
- 02Preserve bright, lively acidity: citric acid
Abundant citric acid points toward citrus-like acidity. Aim to preserve the acid profile.
Data rationale Citric acid 80th percentile · Acidity potential 82nd percentile
- 03Fruit and malt complexity: diterpenes
Abundant diterpenes point toward additional flavor complexity.
Data rationale Diterpenes 89th percentile
- 04Clarity and a smooth finish
Low lipid levels suggest a clear, transparent mouthfeel, while low caffeine supports a clean finish. With this rich sugar profile, sufficient sweetness can develop without pushing caramelization too far.
Data rationale Lipids 3rd percentile · Caffeine 7th percentile
Percentiles rank this lot against the other lots in this auction; Taste Potential values are percentile rankings, not cupping scores. These are directions suggested by the data. Design and validate the actual profile on your roaster, for your target cup.
