Blind Assessment

Smoky, pungent. Very lightly scorched cedar, black tea, hints of lily-like flowers and rosemary in aroma and cup. Roast-muted acidity; leanish but silky mouthfeel. The mildly scorched cedar rounds toward chocolate in a simple but sweet finish.

Notes

Like all Haitian coffee, this is produced entirely from trees of the strain of the Typica variety of Arabica originally planted in Martinique. Haitian Bleu is a protected name for a coffee produced by a large federation of Haitian small-holding farmers called Cafeieres Natives. All Haitian Bleu coffee is washed or wet-processed, unlike most Haitian coffee, which is prepared by the natural method. Certified organically grown. Café Kreyol is a micro-roaster founded in Fairfax Virginia with the mission of the improved lives of coffee farmers in Haiti. Visit www.cafekreyol.com or call 703-989-6751 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Those who enjoy pungently bracing medium-dark-roasted coffees and who want to help improve the difficult lives of small-holding Haitian farmers.
