Blind Assessment

Berry-toned, sweetly tart. Raspberry coulis, lemon verbena, baking chocolate, cedar, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Gentle, balanced acidity; full, very syrupy mouthfeel. Lemon verbena and baking chocolate carry the satisfying finish.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of the Typica variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit) at the Katana Washing Station. Utopian Coffee is a specialty roaster based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Visit www.utopiancoffee.com for more information.   

Bottom Line

This natural-processed DRC leads with bright berry notes and has undertones of sweet herbs and crisp chocolate.
