Blind Assessment
Delicate, high-toned, crisply sweet. Red currant, blackberry, cedar, cocoa nib, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Deeply sweet structure with lively, vibrant acidity; crisp yet velvety mouthfeel. The finish leads with notes of red currant and blackberry in the short, with cocoa nib and cedar resurfacing in the long.
Notes
This coffee tied for the second-highest rating in a tasting of holiday blends for Coffee Review‘s December 2019 tasting report. A blend comprised of three coffees: a natural-process Ethiopia, a washed-process Ethiopia, and a washed-process Kenya. Lucky Café is a Taiwan-based specialty roaster and cafe.

Bottom Line
A complex, layered coffee with both classic Kenya (red currant) and Ethiopia (berry, cocoa) leanings.
