Blind Assessment
Floral and vanilla tones hover in the high-toned acidity, exciting without distracting. The acidity is authoritative despite its floral delicacy and the body surprisingly substantial, although the entire profile loses momentum in the finish.
Notes
Floral and vanilla tones hover in the high-toned acidity, substantial body. Visit www.willoughbyscoffee.com or call 800-388-8400 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
People who can't walk past a rose without sticking their noses in it. Drip-brew this coffee and enjoy it immediately, before the perfumes vanish. A Yirgacheffe like this one, with its complex floral tones, has to be one of the world's most striking coffees.
