Blind Assessment:

Crisp, chocolaty, roast-framed. Baker’s chocolate, scorched oak, gardenia, hazelnut in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with a touch of acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. Smoky-sweet finish with chocolate notes throughout and a rich floral suggestion.

Notes:

Costco is a membership-only wholesaler and retailer with stores in most areas of the United States. Visit www.costco.com for more information.

The Bottom Line: An intensely aromatic, roasty wood-framed cup with deep chocolate and savory floral notes.
