Blind Assessment: Brisk but juicy. Grapefruit, lush flowers, honey, sweet squash in aroma and cup. Richly tart acidity; light but plush mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates but persists in a long, crisp finish.
Notes: From trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety and processed at prize-winning Gitesi mill. Orazure (The Blue Hour) is a personalized, quality-focused artisanal coffee roaster near Houston, Texas. Visit
Who Should Drink It: Unusual and attractive profile, with a bracing grapefruity brightness enveloped in honey and flowers.
