Blind Assessment
Subtle, layered, sweetly tart. Blackcurrant, narcissus-like flowers, oregano, baker’s chocolate, molasses in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart in structure, with savory undertones; velvety-smooth mouthfeel. Baker’s chocolate is the throughline of the gently drying finish, with sweet floral notes in the short and blackcurrant and oregano in the long.
Notes
A.R.C., whose motto is “more than specialty,” rigorously controls three vital elements: sourcing of green coffee, roasting, and, in cafe environments, water quality for brewed coffee. For more information, visit http://www.arc.coffee/en/index.html.
Bottom Line
A balanced, high-toned cup with attractive chocolate notes complicated by hints of sweet herbs throughout.
