Quiet; brisk but sweet. Black tea, almond, elm, bergamot, carob in aroma and cup. Round, backgrounded acidity; full, plush mouthfeel. Citrusy finish in the short, carob and elm in the long.
Notes
Purchased as whole bean in a 12-ounce bag with one-way degassing valve at a Whole Foods location in northern California. This sample was roasted, roast-dated, and packaged at Counter Culture’s Emeryville, California facility. Counter Culture is a specialty roaster with an informative and lively website, a commitment to fine coffee, direct relationships with growers, transparency, and youthful, enthusiastic leadership.
