Blind Assessment

Crisply but lushly sweet and fruit-toned. Narcissus-like flowers, blueberry, cidery peach, roasted cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Softly crisp acidity; full, lively mouthfeel. The floral and blueberry notes carry into a gently drying, bittersweet finish.

Notes

This is a dry-processed or "natural" coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or "washed" coffees. Papa Lin's Coffee Roasting is a very small, “nano” roaster located in Yorktown Heights, New York, that features customized roasting profiles for every customer. Visit www.papalins.com for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Nice balance of lush, slightly fermenty fruit and floral sweetness with a gently drying briskness should please those who enjoy such juxtapositions in ales and whiskies, for example, or good port wines.
