Origin: Central Yemen; northern Sumatra, Indonesia.

Notes: This moderately dark-roasted version of the ancient Mocha-Java blend replaces the Java with a particularly distinguished traditionally processed Sumatra ?

Blind Assessment: Aroma and flavor display intense, pungent pine and cedar wood with soft hints of earth, cocoa and grapefruit. Balanced acidity, medium to full body. The flavor characteristics are sustained in the long, dry finish.

Who should drink it: A deeply pungent fragrant-wood and earth-toned version of the Mocha-Java blend.
