Blind Assessment

Richly bittersweet, deep-toned. Hop flowers, pink peppercorn, tangerine zest, quince, fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with friendly, accessible acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The bittersweet finish centers around tangerine zest and quince.

Bottom Line

While basically sweet, this coffee’s main impulses are a unique and intriguing citrus-zest-like bittersweetness with savory floral underpinnings.
