Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Deeply sweet, fruit-forward and richly bittersweet. Dark chocolate, blackberry preserves, nutmeg, tangerine zest and cedar in aroma and small cup. Dense, creamy mouthfeel; resonant, berry and chocolate finish. In cappuccino format, chocolate and berry notes become richer and rounder, supported by subtle spice and citrus lift.
