Blind Assessment
Evaluated in brew bag format with a steeping time of 5 minutes in 8 ounces of water. Gently fruit-forward and chocolaty. Cocoa powder, narcissus, red grape, grapefruit zest, gently scorched mesquite in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet structure with gentle acidity; full, velvety mouthfeel. Chocolaty, floral-toned finish.
Notes
A blend of coffees from Colombia, Peru, Rwanda and Ethiopia. Packaged in a brew bag by an HACCP-certified packaging company in Taiwan.

Bottom Line
A complex, cocoa- and floral-driven, darker-roasted brew bag coffee with undertones of red grape and grapefruit zest and a throughline of pleasing smokiness.
