Blind Assessment

Richly sweet-savory, chocolate-toned. Dark chocolate, date, pralines, tiger lily, a hint of cumin in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with gentle, round acidity; plump, syrupy mouthfeel. Gently drying finish is chocolaty through and through with undertones of pralines and flowers.

Bottom Line

A particularly chocolaty Guatemala coffee with an intriguing savory undertone akin to cumin that anchors and balances the cup’s deep sweetness.
