Blind Assessment: Very rich aroma: tartly sweet, round-toned, with cherry- and orange-toned fruit. In the cup syrupy mouthfeel, sweet, with continued orangy fruit and a hint of moist leaves.

Who should drink it: An impressively balanced version of the classic fruit-and-earth Sumatra cup additionally distinguished by its impeccable environmental and social credentials.
