Blind Assessment

Chocolaty, deep-toned. Baking chocolate, date, cedar, narcissus, almond in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with brisk acidity; velvety mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of baking chocolate and cedar.

Notes

Produced by Robeiro Sarmiento and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster in Portland, Maine that also operates three coffee shops in town, as well as one in Freeport. Visit www.coffeebydesign.com.

Bottom Line

A friendly, accessible, crisply sweet coffee with dried fruit, floral, and rich nut tones.
