Notes

Toarco (which stands for TOraja ARabica COffee) is a coffee project in the famous Sulawesi coffee growing region of Toraja developed and financed by Japan's Key Coffee Company. Until recently Toarco sold its entire production to the Japanese market, making this coffee rare in the United States. AA is a term often used to describe the highest grade of coffee based on bean size. Coffea Roasterie is a South Dakota based wholesale and retail roaster, with a small but refined selection of mostly single-origin coffees. Visit www.coffearoasterie.com or call 605-362-9955 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Unusual cup: heavy, gently pungent, sweet with a hint of savory.
