Blind Assessment

Restrained, crisp and gently sweet. Baked pear, mandarin zest, dried cherry, almond brittle and cocoa powder in aroma and cup. Softly bright acidity; light-bodied, smooth mouthfeel. The finish is sweet and persistent, with baked pear, almond brittle and cocoa powder tones.

Notes

A rare coffee grown on the island of St. Helena, a British territory in the South Atlantic Ocean — a Bourbon processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). This coffee consists entirely of peaberries, a kind of bean that results when the coffee fruit develops a single, oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. Sea Island Coffee is a London-based roaster specializing in rare origins and varieties. Visit  Seaislandcoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A subtle St. Helena peaberry that emphasizes quiet fruit, citrus and cocoa-nut sweetness over intensity, with a light-footed structure and pleasing balance.
