Blind Assessment
The full-bodied, quietly rich cup with its low-toned fruit and dusk floral notes is classic Blue Mountain. But the aromatics are a bit faded and the cup shadowed by a hint of mustiness, both of which suggest that this coffee is perhaps a bit past its prime.

Who Should Drink It
This faded princess of a coffee till demonstrates the body and low-toned complexity of the Blue Mountain cup.
