Saka’s Tasting Notes:
A creamy liga with softer flavors of cedar, caramel and café, which are complemented by its inherent sweetness being allowed to blossom on the palate and nose – a nuttiness is also apparent within this blend.
Puro Style: Milder, yet flavorful and satisfying. Good for both the inexperienced and experienced palate.
Description:
Sobremesa, "over the table", has no precise English translation, perhaps because there is no cultural equivalent in the US. It is an idiom used among the Latin culture to describe the leisurely time spent tableside after you have finished dining, but before you rise. It is the experience of lingering casually with family and friends in conversation, relaxing, drinking, smoking, and enjoying each other’s company. Sobremesa is one of life’s simplest, yet greatest pleasures.
The Brûlée is a variation of the core Sobremesa liga in which the Pennsylvania Seedleaf ligero has been removed, the Condega Seco has been increased and the Capa is now a top shelf grade of Ecuador Connecticut Shade. The result is a milder, even smoother adaptation of the Sobremesa blend that continues to retain its wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.
