Blind Assessment

Crisply tart, chocolaty. Lime zest, dried apricot, chocolate fudge, agave syrup, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with gentle, round acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The deep finish is richly drying, very chocolaty.

Notes

Doi Pangkhon is an emerging growing district in the Golden Triangle region of northern Thailand. This Arabica coffee from classic cultivars was processed by a particularly meticulous version of the wet or “washed” method, in which skin and fruit flesh are removed from the beans or seeds before they are dried. It was roasted in a style intended for both espresso and non-espresso brewing methods. Paradise Roasters specializes in micro-lot Arabica and Robusta coffees from Asia and other emerging origins. The company prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.

Bottom Line

A balanced, richly darker-roasted coffee from Thailand’s burgeoning Doi Pangkhon growing region — sweet, chocolaty, and enlivened by notes of citrus zest.
