Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Savory-sweet, chocolaty. Buttery dark chocolate, apricot, cedar, orange zest, a hint of anise in aroma and small cup. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; chocolaty though a bit salty in the finish. Blossoms and softens nicely in three parts milk: apricot and chocolate.

Notes

The Curve Coffee Roasting Co. holds classes authorized by the Specialty Coffee Association of America as well as roasting and selling around thirty specialty coffees, including rare Taiwan origins. Visit www.thecurvecoffee.com.tw for more information.

Bottom Line

An appealing blend for those who value a savory, salty chocolate straight shot that softens and sweetens in cappuccino-scaled milk.
