Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Deeply and sweetly floral, richly chocolaty. Dark chocolate, gardenia, candied orange zest, almond paste in aroma and small cup. Delicate, silky-smooth mouthfeel. The mild, crisp finish is dominated by candied orange zest in the short, rounding to deep chocolate tones in the long. Maintains its tart sweetness in three parts milk with orange zest complicating and complementing the chocolate notes.

Notes

Mellow is a café and nano-roastery located in Taipei, Taiwan that serves quality foods and superb coffee in a comfortable setting. Email mellow.coffee@msa.hinet.net or call 886-2-2257-3961 for more information.

Bottom Line

A proudly chocolaty espresso both straight up and in milk, enlivened by sweetly tart orange zest.
