Blind Assessment
Rich, sweet, deep-toned aroma with milk chocolate, honey, caramel, and a touch of flowers. In the small cup full body with a fine, honeyed mouthfeel and a deep, roundly sweet structure with gently tart, cedar-toned fruit and continued hints of flowers. In the sweet, slightly heavy finish the fruit turns toward a minty chocolate. Blooms in milk with a rich, raisiny chocolate somewhere between milk and semi-sweet.

Who Should Drink It
A versatile espresso: lively and powerfully resonant as a straight shot and richly chocolaty in milk.
