Blind Assessment
Rich, round and balanced, with a sweetly understated acidity. Not a lot of nuance, but a hint of mustiness reads as an agreeably peppery chocolate. The finish is smooth, clean and long.
Notes
Certified organically grown and Fair-Traded, meaning small-holding farmers have been paid an economically sustainable price for the coffees contained in this blend. Decaffeinated by the "Swiss Water" solvent-free method. Thanksgiving Coffee is one of the country's groundbreaking socially and environmentally progressive roasters, aiming to combine coffee quality with social and environmental responsibility long before such preoccupations became fashionable.

Who Should Drink It
Outside the cup immaculately correct; in the cup understated enough to enjoy black but robust enough to handle quantities of milk.
