Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Deeply sweet, chocolate-toned. Chocolate fudge, pear, almond, scorched cedar, gardenia in aroma and small cup. Satiny-smooth mouthfeel; crisp, gently smoky finish with chocolate undertones. In three parts milk, chocolate fudge and almond harmonize with scorched cedar for a satisfying, complex milk shot.

Notes

An espresso blend comprised of a washed-process Kenya, two natural-processed Ethiopias, and a semi-washed or honey Colombia. Choosy Gourmet is a cafe in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where founder Howard Hung’s mission is to highlight the “living soul” of each coffee.

Bottom Line

A sweet, resonant espresso blend, especially chocolaty in cappuccino-scaled milk.
