Delicate, refreshing, sweetly brisk. Pungent fresh-cut fir, caramel, pecan, zesty orange in aroma and cup. Crisp acidity, silky mouthfeel. Rich, sweet, impressively flavor-saturated finish.
Pungently sweet, buttery, complex. Richly layered berry-toned fruit, dark chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut in aroma and cup. Round, balanced acidity; deeply syrupy mouthfeel. Resonantly flavor-saturated finish. Our five cups were very slightly uneven, for which we deducted one point, but the general impact of this coffee was superb.
Evaluated as espresso. Sweet-toned; lively but deep. Chocolate, almond-paste, tangerine and plum notes with vanilla hints in aroma and, more pronounced, in the small cup. Syrupy body; the finish is resonant though gently drying and eucalyptus-toned. The chocolate and citrus further sweeten and soften in three parts milk; the plum note turns delicately floral.
Hazelnut, orangy citrus, night-blooming flowers, brown sugar in aroma and, more intensely, in the cup. Juicy, round, ripely lemony acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates but persists in a rich finish.
Floral notes stretch from evanescent, delicate top notes to lushly rich, jasmine-like mid-notes in aroma and cup, with roasted cacao nib and kiwi/lemon complications. Round, rich acidity; lightly syrupy, lively mouthfeel. The finish is drying but long and flower-saturated.
