Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Roasty-sweet, complex and multilayered. Grilled strawberry, lily, cocoa powder, gently scorched sandalwood, almond butter in aroma and small cup. Creamy, somewhat fluffy mouthfeel; resonant, flavor-saturated finish that’s both sweet and harmoniously smoky. In cappuccino format, balanced, floral-toned, chocolaty and rich.

Notes

A blend of coffees from Guatemala, Colombia, Ethiopia, India and Brazil, roasted for espresso applications. DeerFriend Coffee Company is a specialty roaster based in Taipei. Visit www.deerfriendcoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A surprisingly inviting roast-forward espresso blend that manages to balance sweet and savory impulses — dark chocolate and floral depth with smoky elegance, and transforming in milk into a creamy, cocoa-toned indulgence.
