Blind Assessment

Deep-toned, complex. Rich apricot-like fruit dominates, with complications of cedar, cocoaish nut and night flowers. Quietly rounded acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor notes carry into a long, balanced finish.

Notes

Bard 2.2 is a blend of Indonesia and Costa Rica coffees. It is Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning the constituent coffees were produced following sustainable ecological and socio-economic criteria developed by the Sustainable Agricultural Network, a coalition of independent, environment-focused non-governmental organizations. Bard Coffee is a coffeehouse and roasting company based in Portland, Maine, focused on distinctive single-origin coffees. Bard Coffee is co-owned by Bob Garver, founder of Wicked Joe coffee and a frequent judge at barista competitions in the United States and internationally. Visit www.bardcoffee.com or call 207-899-4788 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Nicely balances the deep, rustic fruit of classic Indonesia coffees with a brighter Central America.
