Blind Assessment
Acidy but balanced; clean, sweet, direct. Nuanced with floral and dry chocolate notes. Rich finish with a hint of roasty bittersweetness.
Notes
By the Agtron numbers this is not a particularly dark roast, but in the cup it displays a hint of the bittersweet twist characteristic of darker roasts. From the Twigg-Smith farm in the Holualoa district. Visit
Who Should Drink It
A versatile coffee displaying enough acidity to brighten the cup of traditionalists but just enough bittersweetness and roasty finish to satisfy all but the most extremist of dark-roast lovers.
