Blind Assessment: The sweet-toned aroma suggests butter, toast, raisiny fruit. In the cup, deep, roast-muted acidity, medium body, soft mouthfeel and straightforward flavors of molasses and nut-toned chocolate with a continued hint of dried fruit. A mild bittersweet chocolate character fades quickly in the finish.

Who should drink it: An easy drinking, medium-dark-roasted coffee with impressive social and environmental credentials.
