Blind Assessment
Sweetly earthy, floral-toned. Pipe tobacco, jasmine, pink grapefruit zest, pistachio, plum in aroma and cup. Gently tart acidity; crisp, creamy mouthfeel. Richly smoky, sweetly nutty finish.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers from trees of the Tim Tim, Catimor and Lasuna varieties of Arabica and processed by the locally traditional washed and wet-hulled method. Revel Coffee is a micro-roaster located in Billings, Montana. Its motto: “Quality is paramount – a difference you can revel in.” Visit www.revelcoffee.com or call 406-534-9621 for more information.
Bottom Line
A complex, nutty, floral, sweetly earthy cup: classic Sumatra right down to the distinct pipe tobacco notes.
