Blind Assessment

Intensely bright, richly floral. Lavender, violet, tangerine, with rounding and softening notes of dark chocolate and red grape in aroma and cup. Big, sweetly tart acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flowers and dark chocolate saturate a very rich, long finish.

Notes

Produced mainly from trees of the admired, Bourbon-derived SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica. Coastal Peaks is a small-batch roaster based in San Luis Obispo, California which provides a wide selection of coffees for all tastes, from everyday to high-end specialty. Visit www.coastalpeakscoffee.com or call 805-543-0179 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Those who love the sweet, juicy intensity of big acidity, in this case wrapped in the resonance of complex floral, chocolate and bright fruit.
