Blind Assessment: Subdued, low-toned, smooth, full, round. Very little at the top of the profile, but a rich, fat fruitiness in the middle. Giddy suggestions of guava darkened toward cocoa and cherry as the cup cooled.

Notes: Subdued, low-toned, smooth, full, round. Very little at the top of the profile, but a rich, fat fruitiness in the middle. Certified organically grown and Fair Trade. From the admired Prodocoop cooperative of over 1,000 peasant farmers.

Who Should Drink It : Lovers of port, old brandy, and wide-wale corduroy. The fruit is deep, suggestive, and somehow meaty, like the flesh of ripe cherries.
