Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Assertively sweet, fruity, spicy. Ripe banana, baking chocolate, allspice, lemon drop, dried lavender and narcissus in aroma and small cup. The mouthfeel is syrupy though drying, the finish rich-toned though rather drying and heavyish in the long. In three-parts milk the coffee balances nicely, with high-toned sweetness and florals showing with pleasing clarity.

Notes

This is a blend of wet-processed Ethiopia Sidamo and washed and wet-hulled Sumatra Mandheling. Founded in 1993, Dante Coffee now has 120 coffee shops shops in Taiwan, 20 in Indonesia, five in Kuwait, and one in Saudi Arabia. The company aims to provide customers with the highest-quality coffee and meals at affordable prices. Visit http://www.dante.com.tw for more information.

Bottom Line

An undeniably powerful espresso, and an interesting and engaging interpretation of the ancient Mocha-Java blend concept, combining fruit and flowers from an Ethiopia/Yemen coffee with rich spice and sweet depth from an Indonesia.
