Blind Assessment
Thrillingly sweet and buoyant when hot, with a hint of dry fruit modulating to chocolate. Light bodied but deeply dimensioned. A subliminal whiff of flowers teases in the aftertaste.
Notes
Thrillingly sweet and buoyant when hot, with a hint of dry fruit modulating to chocolate. Decaffeinated by the European process using the solvent methylene chloride. One of award-winning Caffe Appassionato 's mottoes (appearing beneath a portrait of Beethoven) is "A Maestro 's Passion."
Who Should Drink It
A clean, levitating Sumatra without the usual musty, earthy, gritty baggage. More Mozart than Beethoven, this is an optimistic Sumatra for sunny mornings and drip brewing.
