Blind Assessment

Softly and sweetly pungent, quietly floral-toned. Lavender, violet, raisin, orangy citrus in aroma and cup. Delicate acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates but lasts in a smooth, gentle finish.

Notes

Farmer Juan Pena produced this very small, “micro” lot of fine coffee entirely from trees of the traditional Typica variety of Arabica. Spyhouse Coffee Roasting emphasizes building relationships within and around the coffee community through passion and knowledge. Visit www.spyhousecoffee.com or call 612-345-4348 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Those who enjoy a pure, subtle, gently sweet-toned cup.
