Blind Assessment

A ready-to-drink black coffee, tested cold. Complex, nuanced, multi-layered. Lilac, dark chocolate, lemon verbena, dried apricot, Bourbon barrel. Sweetly tart with juicy-bright acidity; lightly syrupy, very refreshing mouthfeel. Invitingly rich finish with suggestions of Bourbon barrel integrated with classic Ethiopia notes of dried stone fruit and sweet herbs.

Notes

Prepared by the cold-brew method, which involves prolonged steeping of ground coffee in cold or room-temperature water and subsequent filtering. Contains no additives or ingredients other than coffee and water. The green coffee used is a washed-process Ethiopia Yirgacheffe aged in Bourbon whiskey barrels. Regent Coffee was established in 2017 in Glendale, California. With more than 10 years of roasting experience, Regent strives to deliver coffee with care and purpose.

Bottom Line

An addictively compelling barrel-aged Yirgacheffe cold brew, aromatically reminiscent of fine Bourbon but all classic Ethiopia coffee on the palate — a very pretty sipper.
