Blind Assessment
Sweet-toned, foresty aroma; co-cupper Jennifer Stone (90) found flowering grass and herb; Ken (91) freshly cut wood and night flowers. In the cup gently bright acidity, full body with lightly syrupy mouthfeel, and continued garden-toned aromatics: flowers (both Ken and Jennifer), nut (Ken), citrus (Jennifer). Sweetness envelopes a slight astringency in the "resonant" (Jennifer) finish.
Notes
This sample was made up of extremely large beans. We were not able to determine the story behind these beans, however. California Coffee Roasters is an award-winning specialty wholesale roaster and Internet retailer moved to Texas from California. Visit www.freshcoffee.net or call 800-521-5527 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Those who love the scents of tropical mornings. The huge beans and a very light roast may in themselves interest aficionados.
