Blind Assessment: Richly fruit and spice-toned. Dried elderberry, clove, agave syrup, marjoram, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with vibrant acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The resonant finish leads with notes of elderberry and sandalwood.

Notes: Produced by smallholding farmers and processed by the natural anaerobic method ((whole fruit is fermented in hermetically sealed vessels before drying). Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information. 

The Bottom Line: A deeply satisfying, savory-sweet Colombia anaerobic with wide-ranging aromatics and dried fruit and warming spices on the palate.
