Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Sweet, rich, balanced. Sugary vanilla, crisp baking chocolate, dried orange peel and berry-toned fruit in aroma and small cup. Full, smooth, creamy mouthfeel; candyish vanilla in particular carries into a flavor-saturated finish. Flavor persists well in two parts milk, balanced and composed.

Notes

Who Should Drink It

For those relatively new to espresso an accessible and easy drinking straight shot. For espresso enthusiasts the prominent vanilla note may be remarkable.
