Blind Assessment

Sweet-toned, fruit-centered. Raisin, brown sugar, lemon zest, prairie flowers, oak in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with brisk acidity; medium-bodied, velvety-smooth mouthfeel. The gently drying finish consolidates to notes of brown sugar and oak with hints of lemon zest.

Notes

Produced in Taiwan from trees of the Caturra variety of Arabica and processed by the natural, dried-in-the-whole-fruit method. The Formosa Coffee is a New York-based roaster specializing exclusively in high-quality coffees grown in Taiwan. For more information, visit www.theformosacoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A crisp, cleanly fruit-toned Taiwan cup presented by a New York roaster specializing in coffees from the island of Taiwan. A good resource for North Americans who want to sample the production end of the exuberant Taiwanese coffee scene.
