Blind Assessment
The aggressive roast agreeably dominates the coffee here. A delicate, floral-toned, buoyant sweetness sings over a pungently charred center. The sweetness fades and the charred tones dominate in the finish.
Notes
The aggressive roast agreeably dominates the coffee here. A delicate, floral-toned, buoyant sweetness sings over a pungently charred center. From a cooperative in the troubled Aceh Province near the extreme northern tip of Sumatra. Processed by the traditional Sumatra method, in which the fruit flesh is only partly washed from the coffee before drying. Certified organically grown and Fair-Trad
Who Should Drink It
A well-executed French roast that brings a touch of sweetness and character through the ultimate fires.
