Blind Assessment: Clear, sweet ferment tones are turned cherryish chocolate by the darkish roast. Clean, bittersweet chocolate finish. The winy ferment tones, giddy and buoyant when the cup is hot, flatten just a bit as the cup cools.
Notes: Clear, sweet ferment tones are turned cherryish chocolate by the darkish roast. Clean, bittersweet chocolate finish. Certified organically grown and Fair-Trade certified.

Who Should Drink It: Definitely not coffee purists. The winey ferment tones make this a coffee for the exuberantly open palate.
