Blind Assessment: Deep-toned, cocoa- and fruit-driven. Nectarine, cocoa powder, cashew butter, lily, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Sweet in structure with gentle, round acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Sweetly cocoa-toned, nutty finish.
Notes: A blend comprised of a natural-processed coffee from Brazil and two washed-process coffees, a Colombia and an Ethiopia. Founded in 2015 by roaster James Parrish, Rhetoric Coffee is roasted at CoRo, Bay Area Co-Roasters (www.corocoffee.com), a collaborative community roasting space in Berkeley, California.

The Bottom Line : A deft blend of coffees, both washed and natural-processed, that nets a sweet, rich, chocolate- and fruit-toned cup.
