Blind Assessment: Deeply rich and sweet. Molasses, dark chocolate, almond, lily, date in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with gentle, round acidity; velvety mouthfeel. Crisp, quiet finish centers around notes of dark chocolate and almond.
Notes: Produced in the Bugisu Region of Uganda near Mt. Elgon and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Based in the Florida Keys, Islamorada Coffee Roasters is a specialty roaster that particularly focuses on certified organic and fair trade coffees.

The Bottom Line: A friendly, accessible Uganda cup, deep-toned and chocolate-driven.
