Blind Assessment

Sharply and richly pungent. Scorched cedar, rosemary-like herb, hidey leather, with hints of floral top notes. Bittersweet, backgrounded acidity; very lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor almost resolves into chocolate in a sweet but heavily astringent finish.

Notes

This coffee is a blend of coffees of the Robusta species and the Excelsa variety of the Liberica species. Faustino Coffee Company is an Ontario, California based importer and distributer of coffees from the company’s estates in the Philippines. Visit www.faustinoco.com or call 951-205-2383 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Aficionado adventurers curious about this very unusual blend of coffee species, although the impact of dry-processing (drying in the fruit) and a darkish roast may obscure any clear view of the sensory impact of species.
