Blind Assessment
Replete with earth, leather, and vaguely animal and forest notes. In structure leans more toward the bitter side of bittersweet, but blooms with chocolate opulence for a moment toward the finish.
Notes
"Develop a nose for coffee," declares Plantation Coffee 's website, over a fisheye-lens photo of owner Dan Davis 's own personal facial appendage. Plantation is a quality-oriented wholesale roaster founded in 1994 in the Sacramento, California suburb of Elk Grove.
Who Should Drink It
Coffee adventurers. Brings the forest floor to the cup with style and pungent authority.
