Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Savory-sweet, chocolaty. Buttery dark chocolate, apricot, cedar, orange zest, a hint of anise in aroma and small cup. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; chocolaty though a bit salty in the finish. Blossoms and softens nicely in three parts milk: apricot and chocolate.

Bottom Line
An appealing blend for those who value a savory, salty chocolate straight shot that softens and sweetens in cappuccino-scaled milk.
