Blind Assessment

Rich-toned, deeply sweet-savory. Dark chocolate, date, magnolia, pomelo, cedar in aroma and cup. Gentle, round acidity; very full, creamy mouthfeel. Cedary, chocolaty finish.

Notes

A blend of coffees from four countries — Indonesia, Kenya, Colombia and El Salvador — all washed except for the wet-hulled Indonesia (Sumatra). Founded in 1995 by Brooke McDonnell and Helen Russell, Equator Coffees operates retail stores in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California and provides coffee to hundreds of wholesale accounts.

Bottom Line

Equator’s version of an omni-blend that does a good job satisfying a wide swath of people, from those who drink their coffee black to those who doctor it with milk — richly chocolaty and gently floral with aromatic nuance from spice-toned wood.
