Blind Assessment
Rich-toned, deeply sweet. Date, frangipane, freesia, baking chocolate, cedar in aroma and cup. Gently brisk, balanced acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Crisp, chocolaty finish with undertones of date and almond.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the Bourbon and Caturra varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). Certified USDA Organic. Founded in 2011 by Keith Hamrick and Jen Lovrak, Northbound Coffee Roasters is a family-owned and -operated roastery in Mount Shasta, California.

Bottom Line
A satisfying Mexico cup with notes of dried fruit, spice-toned florals and crisp chocolate — balanced and sweet-toned.
