Blind Assessment

Another Sumatra with intrigue, but more murky than mysterious. The aroma is marvelous, alive with vanilla and sweet aromatic wood tones, but the cup settles down into a heavy smokiness unrelieved by lift or sweetness. Hints of dry chocolate turn tobaccoish in the finish.

Notes

Marvelous aroma, alive with vanilla and wood tones, but the cup settles down to a heavy smokiness unrelieved by lift or sweetness. Hints of dry chocolate turn tobaccoish in the finish.

Who Should Drink It

The wood/smoke tones may interest some. The weight and almost salty dryness might make this coffee a good choice for a French-press, after-dinner accompaniment to rich, sweet desserts.
