Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Subtle and enveloping, richly sweet-toned. Jasmine, roasted cacao nib, passionfruit, sandalwood, nougat in aroma and small cup. Delicate, silky mouthfeel; cocoa- and sandalwood-toned finish with notes of passionfruit carrying into the long. In three parts milk, passionfruit and jasmine harmonize with cocoa and a pleasing aromatic wood.

Notes

An espresso blend comprised of coffees from Ethiopia, Kenya and the Yunnan Province of China. 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.

Bottom Line

Rich, sweet, elegant and cocoa-laden, this espresso blend is nougat-like in the straight shot and fruit- and floral-toned in milk.
