Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Crisply chocolaty, deeply sweet. Dark chocolate, rhododendron, pie cherry, lemon-thyme, fresh-cut oak in aroma and small cup. Very full, creamy-smooth mouthfeel; chocolaty, sweetly herbaceous finish. In cappuccino format, dark chocolate and rhododendron notes ramp up, while tart fruit and sweet herbs take a supporting role.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the Caturra, Colombia and Castillo varieties of Arabica, and process by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “Let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line

A rich-toned, balanced Colombia espresso that’s, at turns, sweet, tart, herbaceous and earthy; the straight shot is pleasingly tart, and milk amplifies the chocolate and floral notes.
