Blind Assessment: Rich-toned, deeply sweet. Dark chocolate, date, singed cedar, Bing cherry, saltwater taffy. Deepy sweet structure with gentle acidity; viscous, smooth mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to dark chocolate and saltwater taffy.
Notes: Produced by smallholding farmers from the Ateng, Bor Bor, Catimor and Timor varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional Sumatra washed and wet-hulled method. Chaos Coffee is a specialty roaster based in Bayboro, North Carolina. Visit www.chaoscoffeeco.shop/ for more information.
The Bottom Line: A classic darker-roasted Sumatra cup — sweetly earth-toned, richly chocolaty, deep.
