Blind Assessment: Richly sweet, spice-toned. Baker’s chocolate, spice box, magnolia, fresh-cut fir, brown sugar in aroma and cup. Sweet in structure with round, gentle acidity; full, satiny mouthfeel. The finish centers around baker’s chocolate and spice with notes of aromatic wood throughout.

Notes: A blend of washed and wet-hulled coffees from Africa, Asia and the Americas.

The Bottom Line: A blend of washed and wet-hulled coffees that reads like a friendly Sumatra: sweetly wood-framed with notes of chocolate and baking spices.
