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.
Utopía Pacamara Washed leads with acidity and flavor for a pronounced, expressive profile. Expect a quieter mouthfeel presence.
Daniel Mendoza Argueta farms Utopía at 1680 m in Santa Ana, Honduras.

Roasting directions from this lot's chemistry · percentiles against this auction
- 01A balanced foundation with room to shape the profile
A relatively even profile across all six dimensions gives you flexibility to emphasize either brightness or sweetness. Adapt the roast to your target cup profile.
Data rationale Most of the 6 dimensions fall between the 40th and 77th percentiles
- 02Bright, lively acidity: organic and citric acids
Abundant organic and citric acids point toward citrus-like acidity. Preserving the acid profile should bring the flavor character into focus.
Data rationale Organic acids 85th percentile · Citric acid 76th percentile
- 03Sweetness provides support: monosaccharides and glucose
Abundant monosaccharides and glucose provide a basis for deeper sweetness during caramelization, balancing the acidity.
Data rationale Monosaccharides 89th percentile · Glucose 81st percentile
- 04Diterpenes and Pacamara mouthfeel
Diterpenes are associated here with fruit and malt notes and textural complexity, while the variety's character provides a moderate sense of weight on the palate.
Data rationale Diterpenes 81st percentile · Body potential 41st 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.
