Blind Assessment

Quiet aroma with walnut and hints of cedar and dark chocolate. In the cup heavy body with a slightly rough mouthfeel, an almost syrupy sweet structure, and dominating musty/earthy notes that can be read as a sort of robust, walnut-toned dark chocolate. The sweetness carries into a rich, slightly tight, continued walnut-toned finish.

Notes

Pachamama is a cooperative of cooperatives, owned by small holding farmers who are members of cooperatives in five different countries: Ethiopia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru. Their coffees are roasted in small batches in the United States and packaged in sophisticated valve-topped, recyclable cans. This blend, consisting of coffees from all five cooperatives, is very complex in terms of origins but displays a paradoxically rather simple profile. All coffees in the blend are certified organically grown and also Fair Trade certified, meaning they were purchased at a "fair" or economically sustainable price from the small-holding farmers making up these democratically-run cooperatives. Visit www.pacha.coop or call 530-204-7554 for more information.
