Blind Assessment
Balanced, integrated, richly sweet. Fig Newton, baking spices, cocoa nib, roasted cashew, freesia-like flowers in aroma and cup. Fruit-forward structure with gentle acidity; viscous, syrupy mouthfeel. Nut- and cocoa-driven finish.
Notes
A harmonious blend of three coffees and three different processing methods: a natural Brazil, a washed Guatemala, and a wet-hulled Indonesia. Nostalgia Coffee Roasters was founded by Taylor Fields in 2018 as a mobile café; it has since added specialty roasting and online sales of select fine coffees.

Bottom Line
Designed to work equally well as pourover or espresso, this blend has deep sweetness, balanced fruit and florals, and undercurrents of baking spices throughout.
