Blind Assessment
Quiet, sweetly crisp. Honey, milk chocolate, nut, a hint of night-blooming flowers in aroma and cup. Soft, gently juicy acidity; balanced mouthfeel. Nut and chocolate carry into a sweet-toned finish.
Notes
Produced from trees of the heirloom Bourbon and the Caturra and Pache varieties of Arabica by the indigenous Mayan members of the Tzampetey Cooperative. Terroir is a microroaster focusing on elite single-origin coffees. It was a pioneer in the revival of medium roast styles designed to foreground the character of the green coffee. Terroir is the creation of George Howell, one of the world's leading coffee visionaries. Visit www.georgehowellcoffee.com or call 866-444-5282 for more information.
