Blind Assessment
(Whole-bean blend of coffee and roasted pi?on nuts) Very full nose with a sort of toasted apple and cinnamon character plus an odd, cloyingly sweet woodiness. In the cup quite full-bodied with a continued dominating sweet, soapy wood character overriding pleasant chocolate, molasses and perhaps apple and lemon notes.
Notes
A blend of coffee and roasted pinon (pine) nuts. New Mexico Pinon Coffee specializes in producing this award-winning blend and other unusual coffee products using artisan roasting techniques on an antique Royal 25-pound roasting machine. "Sobre los gustos no hay disputa - In the matter of taste there is no argument" reads the front of the Pinon Coffee bag. It is not clear to me whether this statement is a disclaimer or a boast. We purchased this blend in an outlet of Trader Joe's, the chain of natural and gourmet food stores. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Those who think they may enjoy the flavor of roasted pine nuts. I am not among you, but, as the package says, "Sobre los gustos no hay disputa."
