Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Richly chocolaty, deeply sweet-savory. Cocoa powder, salted caramel, golden raisin, gently scorched mesquite, agave syrup in aroma and small cup. Velvety-smooth mouthfeel; wood-framed, chocolaty finish. In cappuccino format, richly sweet and cocoa-toned with a nice salted-caramel throughline.

Notes

A blend of coffees from Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala, tested as espresso.  Virginia-based specialty roaster Pinup Coffee Co. focuses on affordable, accessible and carefully roasted coffees from all over the world. Visit www.pinupcoffeeco.com for more information.  

Bottom Line

Rich-toned, sweetly savory, this blend is a solid choice for milk-based drinks with its delicately umami impulses and crisp cocoa expression complicated by an enticing hint of smokiness.
