Blind Assessment:

Flowers run through the profile from aroma through finish, with smoky notes in the aroma, crisp chocolate in the roughly full-bodied cup and again in the rather heavy finish.

Notes:

Who Should Drink It: Floral top notes float over a succession of rougher, more pungent sensations, making this a coffee for those who enjoy paradox and contradiction.
