Blind Assessment

Roasty, sweet, and round in the nose. In the cup the roastiness reveals a sharp bitterness, brightened by a hint of floral sweetness that softens toward burned chocolate in the finish. A full body offsets the bitterness.

Notes

Produced by a cooperative of small holders exclusively from trees of the traditional Bourbon variety of Arabica, this is one of Counter Culture's "Sanctuary Shade Grown" line of migratory bird-friendly coffees. Counter Culture Coffee is a leading regional wholesale roaster specializing in coffees grown in bird-friendly mixed-species shade.

Who Should Drink It

Those who value dark-roasted coffee more for the bitter tones than the sweet. The relatively full body should carry well in milk, and the bitter tones compensate for enthusiastic additions of sugar.
