Blind Assessment

Quietly pungent, sweetly and gently roasty. Baked apple, singed oak, dark chocolate, a hint of orange blossom in aroma and cup. Mild, gentle acidity; syrupy mouthfeel. The crisp finish consolidates around apple and singed oak in the short and dark chocolate in the long.

Notes

This coffee is organic and Fair Trade certified, the latter meaning it was purchased from small-holding farmers at a “fair” or economically sustainable price. This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Grounds for Change is a certified organic coffee roaster specializing in sustainable coffee and supporting a wide range of progressive ecological and social programs. The complete carbon footprint (from crop to cup) for this coffee has been offset with tree planting (carbonfund.org).Visit www.groundsforchange.com or call 800-796-6820 for more information.

Bottom Line

A sweetly roast-toned coffee with crisp fruit notes and an intimation of flowers.
