Origin: Northern Sumatra, Indonesia

Notes: Blue Batak is a particularly refined version of the traditional style of fruity, earthy Sumatra coffee. Johnson Brothers Coffee Roasters is a distinguished small-batch roasting company. Visit www.johnsonbrotherscoffee.com or call 608-256-5282 for more information.

Blind Assessment: Sweet-toned aromatic wood and roundly fruity aroma, with hints that suggest coconut. Medium to full body, soft mouthfeel, balanced acidity, and a complex range of flavors - grapefruit, lime, coconut, sweet table grapes, aromatic wood and a suggestion of flowers. Flavor characteristics linger and sweeten in the long, slightly dry finish.

Who should drink it: Those who enjoy exotically complex flavors in a balanced cup.
