Blind Assessment: Crisply fruit-forward, sweetly tart. Goji berry, cinnamon, carnation, dark chocolate, hazelnut in aroma and cup. Deeply sweet structure with crisp acidity; plush, satiny mouthfeel. Gently fruity finish centered around notes of dark chocolate and goji berry.

Notes: Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of heirloom varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.
