Blind Assessment: Complex aroma: butter, raisin, aromatic wood, hints of flowers and dark chocolate. In the cup the dark chocolate notes move forward, with continued suggestions of raisin and flowers. Medium body. Simple, rich finish.

Who should drink it: Although the roaster calls this roast ?light,? by international standards it is medium dark, and the roast works to gently mute high notes and acidity while rounding and deepening the fruit toward raisin and semi-sweet chocolate.
