Blind Assessment: In the aroma explosively sweet and exquisitely balanced, with chocolate and a gently gingery spice. In the cup complex and wide in range: roasty, pungent, with a tickle of lemony sweet acidity and a hint of musty earth. An underlying astringent heaviness weighs slightly on the finish.

Who should drink it: The hints of Ethiopia and Sumatra in this blend should please lovers of the exotic cup.
