Blind Assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Lively, complex, comprehensive. Sweetly tart, juicy fruit notes (orange, guava), distinct dark chocolate, flowers, pungent fir in aroma and small cup. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; chocolate and tart fruit tones in the finish. In two parts milk the chocolate note predictably dominates, complicated by a citrusy undercurrent.

Notes: This coffee is a blend of three distinctive coffees, a pulped natural Brazil, a dried-in-the-fruit Ethiopia Gesha, and a wet-processed Sulawesi.
