Blind Assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Sweet, musky, pungent. Baker’s chocolate, apricot, mint, lily in aroma and small cup. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; the chocolate note carries into a rich though drying finish. Crisp and balanced in three parts milk, with continued chocolate and apricot suggestions.
Notes: Coffees in this blend were decaffeinated by the "Swiss Water Process" method, which does not involve use of solvents. Caffè Luxxe is an Italian-inflected artisan roaster and retailer that emphasizes both its coffee knowledge and precision and its straightforward lack of pretension.

Who Should Drink It : Those decaf drinkers who enjoy darker roasted espressos with deep, rather intricate aromatic intrigue.
