Blind Assessment
Low-key, richly pungent aroma: raisins, dried cherries, chocolate. In the cup gently pungent, softly acidy, with a tightly knit complexity, again suggesting dried fruit - raisins, cherries, with a touch of chocolate.

This coffee represents an ongoing collaboration between a small farm in the Fraijanes region of Guatemala and Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea, a leading, award-winning Chicago-area roaster. Visit www.intelligentsiacoffee.com or call 888-945-9786 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
A fine after dinner coffee, dry enough to complement desserts but rich enough to satisfy on its own.
