Blind Assessment

Sweetly tart, high-toned. Caramel apple, baking chocolate, caraway seed, praline, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Crisp, citrusy acidity; full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Quiet finish consolidates to notes of baking chocolate and caraway seed.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers in the Bugisu Region of Uganda near Mt. Elgon, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster with a roastery and coffeehouse in Portland, Maine. For more information, visit www.coffeebydesign.com. 

Bottom Line

An interestingly composed Uganda natural with rich sweetness, distinct tartness, and a throughline of crisp chocolate, and a bittersweet, caraway-like note.
