Blind Assessment

Evaluated as an instant or soluble coffee at proportions of one packet of instant coffee (5 grams) mixed with 8.5 ounces (250 ml) of hot water. Delicately sweet-tart. Caramel, green apple, hazelnut, magnolia, oak in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with little perceptible acidity; smooth mouthfeel with medium weight. The crisp finish centers around notes of caramel, hazelnut and green apple.

Notes

A blend of three coffees: a pulped natural-processed from Brazil, a natural-processed Bali, and a natural-processed Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. Solubilized by Swift Cup. This instant coffee is a collaboration between modcup and Swift Cup Coffee to benefit essential workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. For every sachet purchased, one will be donated to essential workers. modcup coffee, founded in 2013, focuses on fresh roasting and distinctive natural-processed coffees. Visit modcup.com for more information.  

Bottom Line

A very appealing instant cup comprised of natural-processed coffees from three origins, supporting a philanthropic effort to provide coffee to essential workers.
