Blind Assessment
A quietly exotic, complex blend of impressive originality. Smoothly midtoned, gently pungent aroma. In the cup displays lively, almost peppery acidity and full body with some tingle in the mouthfeel. Lyrically and richly sweet, with a wine-like, black grapey hint of ferment and a slight musty-malty edge. A surprising shimmer of flowers in the long finish.

Who Should Drink It
With its quiet depth and well-crafted allusions to Ethiopian fruit and Indonesian earth, a superb, wintery coffee.
