Blind Assessment: Once again, a rather flat astringency, a sort of strident monotone, dominates the center of the profile, abetted in this case by a touch of carbony sharpness. Some fruit and sweetness, though the grace notes tend toward the tobacco and herb.
Notes: Intense, complex, but a rather flat astringency dominates the center of the profile with a touch of carbon. Grace notes tend toward the tobacco and herb. Another Ethiopia Harrar and estate Java formulation. For more information, visit www.orensdailyroast.com.
Who Should Drink It: Another intense, complex, but essentially imbalanced coffee. Since urban life is already intense, complex, and imbalanced, this coffee may be right on target.
