Blind Assessment

Quietly distinctive; resonant. Honey, dark chocolate, hazelnut, sweetly pungent fruit (cherimoya?) in aroma and cup. Round but juicy acidity; lively, syrupy mouthfeel. Chocolate sweetness dominates in a long, gently persistent finish.

Notes

Toarco (TOraja ARabica COffee) is a coffee project in the famous Sulawesi coffee growing region of Toraja developed and financed by Japan's Key Coffee Company and its Indonesian partners. Toarco coffees are processed by variants of the orthodox wet or washed method, giving them a brighter and cleaner profile than Sulawesi coffees processed by the locally traditional wet-hulling method. Until recently Toarco sold its entire production to the Japanese market, making this coffee rare in the United States. Propeller is a relatively new Toronto-based micro-roaster with a dedication to careful selection and exceptional craft roasting of high-end coffees, the outgrowth of five years of successful business as the three-location Crema Coffee café chain.
