Blind Assessment

Very sweet-toned aroma, intense though simple: hints of potato, orange and nut. As straight espresso medium body but syrupy mouthfeel with a smoothly pungent character and a quiet complexity: molasses, orange, nut and a hint of semi-sweet chocolate. Full, deep, slightly salty finish. In milk displays a rich semi-sweet chocolate, but a bit light on sweetness and presence.

Notes

All coffees in this blend are certified organically grown. They include coffees of both the arabica and robusta species. Over the years robusta has acquired a reputation as a cheap coffee used only in canned supermarket blends, but today the highest grades of robusta are often used by American specialty roasters to add body and contribute a low-acid foundation to fine espresso blends. SpecialtyJava.com is an Internet retailer and wholesaler of fine coffee that emphasizes quality and freshness, the latter with the motto "Age wine not coffee."
