Blind Assessment:

Evaluated as espresso. Complex and dynamic profile in the small cup. Tangerine, cedar, vanilla, anise, honey, with rich floral top notes. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor persists in a rich finish; in two parts milk rounds and sweetens toward chocolate without losing authority or complexity.

Notes:

True Coffee Roasting Studio is a Taiwanese micro-roaster founded by Eison Hon in 2010; he believes that coffee is a “gift from god” and that roasters should treat every coffee with the greatest possible respect. Visit www.facebook.com/true.coffee2010 or call +886-980-284-834 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Versatile espresso should please both as a complex and exotic straight shot as well as an authoritative presence in milk drinks.
