Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Richly sweet-tart. Pomegranate, dark chocolate, narcissus, hazelnut, cedar in aroma and small cup. Satiny-smooth mouthfeel; fruit-driven, chocolaty finish. In three parts milk the fruit rounds and softens and chocolate notes are foregrounded.

Notes

Produced at Fazenda Recreio and comprised entirely of the Yellow Bourbon variety of Arabica processed by the natural method. Plat Coffee is a specialty roaster and café in Hong Kong. For more information, visit www.platcoffee.com.

Bottom Line

An inviting single-origin (and single-variety) espresso from Brazil characterized by pomegranate-like fruit and deep chocolate.
