Blind Assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Impressive aroma: rich, buttery dark chocolate, backgrounded orange and plum with a hint of flowers. Full, syrupy mouthfeel. The sweetness recedes in flavor and finish, however, and a bitterish, zesty orange and pungent cedar move forward. Powerful, richly chocolaty presence in two to four parts milk, with a continued underlying zesty dryness.
Notes: Wild Hawk Coffee is a small-batch coffee roasting company located in Sacramento, California. The Wild Hawk motto is “sustainability through quality” expressing the conviction that quality is the key to not only a better cup of coffee but to a better world. Visit
Who Should Drink It: A sophisticated darker roasted espresso, with the roast contributing some pungent bittersweet character without muting aromatics or thinning an impressively full mouthfeel and substantial presence in milk.
