Blind Assessment: Another solid, heavy-centered Sumatra. Here, however, the dark center reveals hints of wine and a character more complexly pungent than sweet. The pungency is free of earthy or hard notes, and reads as the very quintessence of rich.
Notes: A classic, rich Sumatra with just enough acidity and fruit to stretch and open the deep, pungent center. Processed by traditional Sumatra methods. Visit www.willoughbyscoffee.com or call 800-388-8400 for more information.
Who Should Drink It : A classic Sumatra for lovers of classic Sumatras. Just enough acidity and fruit to stretch and open the deep, pungent center.
