Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Sweetly and richly tart. Graham cracker, lemon zest, hazelnut, pomegranate, clover flower in aroma and small cup. Satiny mouthfeel; gently drying, resonant finish centered around hazelnut and lemon zest. In three parts milk, the sweet-tartness of the cup carries into the chocolate-toned long finish.
Notes
A.R.C., whose motto is “more than specialty,” rigorously controls three vital elements: sourcing of green coffee, roasting, and, in cafe environments, water quality for brewed coffee. For more information, visit http://www.arc.coffee/en/index.html
Bottom Line
An accessible, sweetly tart espresso blend, citrusy in the straight shot and chocolate-toned in milk.
