Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Deep-toned, richly sweet. Baker’s chocolate, orange zest, gardenia-like flowers, vanilla, very lightly scorched oak in aroma and small cup. Velvety mouthfeel; notes of chocolate and orange zest carry the resonant, balanced finish. In three parts milk, chocolate dominates, while a very gently scorched oak and vanilla-like floral notes return, with hints of pretty citrus zest, in the finish.

Bottom Line
A solid espresso with a throughline of dark chocolate and citrus zest. Especially compelling in milk, where chocolate notes intensify, supported by vanilla-like floral tones.
