Blind Assessment
Fine straight-shot espresso. Rich in the aroma with a delicately pungent note Ken (91) called cedar and co-taster Heather Perry (90) spice. In the small cup dense and syrupy in mouthfeel with dark chocolate and continued spice and orangey cedar notes. Long, resonantly flavor-saturated finish. Loses some power and complexity, though it remains pleasantly drinkable and the orangey/spicy chocolate persists.
Notes
Certified organically grown. From an environmentally progressive farm in the traditional Matas de Minas growing region. A coffee from this farm was a fourth-place finisher in the 2006 Brazil Cup of Excellence competition. La Mill is a resolutely high-end retail and wholesale roaster located in the Los Angeles area.

Who Should Drink It
Classic, comfortable straight-shot espresso, not complex, perhaps, but complete.
