Blind Assessment
In the aroma rich dark chocolate and toast with hints of wood smoke, cinnamon and fruit. In the cup smooth acidity, full body and gentle flavors that balance lemon with sweeter-toned fruit and cocoa. Flavor fades rather quickly in the finish.
Notes
This blend combines very dark-roasted Guatemala with lighter-roasted East African coffees. Proceeds from this blend are donated to Mobile Bay Keepers and the Alabama Coastal Foundation to help in efforts to clean up the recent Gulf oil spill. Serda's is a coffee roaster and lively cafe in Mobile, Alabama that evolved from an online coffee retailer and Internet cafe in Costa Rica. Visit
Who Should Drink It
A successful example of the difficult-to-execute practice of blending very different roast styles: nicely nuanced balance.
