Blind Assessment

Rich-toned, sweetly nutty. Dark caramel, hazelnut, date, mandarin zest, marjoram in aroma and cup. Gentle, round acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Integrated, harmonious finish that centers caramel and hazelnut notes.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the Catucai and Mundo Novo varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Merge is a specialty coffee roaster with three cafes in Harrisonburg, Virginia, dedicated to ethical sourcing of high-quality coffees. Visit www.mergecoffeeco.com for more information.

Bottom Line

This adeptly medium-roasted blend offers a caramel and hazelnut throughline, rounding the edges of acidity and preserving the cup’s rich sweetness.
