Blind Assessment
Sweet and gently spicy. Brown sugar, roasted walnut, tangerine-like fruit, spearmint, a hint of flowers in aroma and cup. Soft, rounded acidity. Lightly plush mouthfeel. Sweet, clean, simple finish.
Notes
This coffee is the result of a project to develop Taiwanese-grown coffee as a specialty origin. The coffee is grown by small producers who are largely indigenous peoples, and is roasted and retailed in Taiwan.
Who Should Drink It
Taiwanese who want to support the production of their own local specialty coffee, curious aficionados from other countries, and anyone who enjoys a gently spicy, sweet-toned cup.
