Blind Assessment: Richly aromatic, chocolaty. Dark chocolate, Bing cherry, pink grapefruit zest, lily, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet with brisk acidity; plush, creamy mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to chocolate-covered cherry with lily undertones.

Notes: Produced by Wilmer Alarcon Mirez from trees of the Bourbon, Typica and Caturra varieties of Arabica and processed by the washed method. Big Shoulders Coffee is a Chicago artisan roaster that emphasizes a fresh-roasted, no-nonsense approach to fine coffee. Visit www.bigshoulderscoffee.com or call 312-846-1439 for more information.
