Blind Assessment

Deeply chocolaty, sweetly earthy. Dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, date, lily, gently scorched oak in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with gentle, round acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. The mildly drying finish consolidates to notes of pipe tobacco and lightly scorched oak with undertones of dark chocolate.

Bottom Line

An organic Haiti Blue Mountain cup, deftly darker-roasted, with rich chocolate and sweet tobacco notes. Nice with a splash of whole milk.
