Blind Assessment
Pungently rich, complex. Dark chocolate, lightly scorched oak, molasses, hints of night-blooming flowers and coriander in aroma and cup. Dry, low-toned acidity; light but silky mouthfeel. Dry and oaky in the short finish but a chocolaty sweetness prevails in the long.
Notes
An unusual small-producer coffee from Java, prepared using the uniquely Indonesian fruit removal and drying practices collectively called wet hulling. This coffee is Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning it was produced following sustainable ecological and socio-economic criteria developed by the Sustainable Agricultural Network, a coalition of independent, environment-focused non-governmental organizations. Caribou Coffee is a retail roasting chain based in the upper Middle West whose rather irreverent motto "Life is short. Stay awake for it" belies a serious approach to coffee. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Those who know and enjoy Sumatra coffees should particularly enjoy this moderately dark-roasted, briskly complex variation on the Indonesian wet-hulled cup.
