Blind Assessment: The rather aggressive dark roast simplifies the coffee, intensifying the bitter tones, dampening the sweet, and turning hints of chocolate toward spice. The aftertaste is attractively bittersweet but thin.
Notes: . Orleans Coffee Exchange is a quality-oriented wholesale roaster founded in 1983 in New Orleans.
Who Should Drink It: A French-Roast-drinker 's Sulawesi: the bitter bite of an assertive dark roast complicated by a twist of spice.
