Blind Assessment
Intense, lyrically sweet coffee: honey, flowers and the pure notes of coffee fruit carry from aroma to cup; the acidity is tart but caramelly, even buttery. Impeccably clean, delicately rich finish.
Notes
Terroir is a relatively recently established microroaster selling only elite single-origin coffees, no blends. It specializes in medium roast styles designed to foreground the character of the green coffee. Terroir is the creation of George Howell, one of the world's leading coffee visionaries.

Who Should Drink It
Lovers of everything classic yet passionate. The perfectly struck medium roast develops the coffee without a trace of either greenness or graininess on one hand or roast taste on the other.
