Intense aroma combining notes of peach, flowers and nut. The sweet peach and floral tones soften in the cup, complicated by suggestions of tart lemon and bittersweet chocolate. Citrusy acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavors simplify in a walnut-edged finish.

Evaluated as espresso. Rich, buttery aroma: ripe lemon, cherry, a hint of fresh-cut fir. In the small cup medium body, smooth mouthfeel, crisply complex flavor: the fruit and fir notes resolve toward a dark chocolate with a hint of anise. Deep, sweet, dark-chocolaty finish. The chocolate sensation rounds and softens in two parts milk; think a lemon-toned milk chocolate.

Intense, unusual profile, dominated by a citrus and molasses character that suggests both moist pipe tobacco and sweet black tea. Roundly rich acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The distinctive flavor complex lingers in the deep, rich finish.

Complex and distinctive aromatics. Intense floral notes – a sort of spicy tea rose – and bright, wine-like fruit carry from aroma to finish, with some lime-like citrus and even a little chocolate. Tart, zesty acidity, full but leanish-textured mouthfeel. Sweetness overrides a very mild astringency in the finish.

Soft notes of fruit in the aroma deepen in the delicate, crisply balanced cup, suggesting sweet orange and a lemon-toned cocoa. Silky mouthfeel. Gentle, sweet-toned acidity. A fruit-edged sweetness carries into the finish.

Crisply balanced, fresh and meadowy. Honey, flowers, fresh-cut fir, molasses leaning toward chocolate in aroma and cup. Rich acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Deep, molassesy finish with a continued hint of flowers.

Deep, intense, pungently fruity aroma; think grapefruit. Rich, balanced acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Continued complexly sweet yet pungent fruit dominates in the cup: grapefruit, lemon, blackberry, black currant. Rich, flavor-saturated finish.

Complete, balanced structure, complex aromatics, classic. Deep, sweet-toned aroma: lemon, orange, nut. In the cup gently bright, fruit- and fir-nuanced acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel.

Complex yet delicate. Sweet lemony citrus and flowers overlay notes of brown sugar and rich almond in aroma and cup. Fine, crisply fruit-toned acidity and lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Deeper nut-toned flavors carry into the long, bittersweet finish.

Round, candied orange peel and nut-toned chocolate in the aroma. Light in body but rich in flavor with pungent notes of walnut, aromatic wood and ripe orange. Sustained bittersweet chocolate pungency in the finish. Intensity of the small cup softens in two parts milk; sweet nut and orange tones dominate.

Sweet, intense, cherry-toned, with a clear nut note that turns rather woody in the cup. Nevertheless, a rich sweetness resonates from aroma through finish. Round, deep acidity.

Very deep, sweet, cherry-toned. Additional hints of brandy, minty dark chocolate, anise, cedar, flowers in aroma and small cup. Syrupy mouthfeel; chocolate in particular lingers in a richly long finish. The complexity mutes in two parts milk, though the minty chocolate persists.

Evaluated as espresso. Rich notes of toast, nut and caramel in the aroma. Thick and syrupy in the small cup, with butter and walnut notes and soft suggestions of anise, clove and orange. Less nuanced in the finish, with the walnut-tone dominating and sustaining deeply into the long. In two parts milk the nut-tone sweetens and rounds balanced by hints of chocolate.

Evaluated as espresso. Sweet in aroma and small cup with hints of citrus and flowers complicated by honey, toast and chocolate. Light-bodied but smooth, with a strikingly sweet fruit-and-chocolate-toned finish. Less chocolate in two parts milk but the honey and fruit persist nicely.

Evaluated as espresso. Intensely pungent in the aroma: cedar and sweet chocolate. Lightly syrupy in mouthfeel and full-flavored in the small cup: continuing cedar notes and a chocolate that turns bittersweet and carries into the finish with a complicating hint of walnut. Flavor rounds and sweetens in two parts milk, but impressively retains its pungent, cedar-and-chocolate character.

Evaluated as espresso. A sweet, mild espresso with notes of stone fruit (apricot, peach), aromatic wood and hints of honey and flowers. Flavors simplify in the finish: the aromatic wood persists faintly and the fruit turns cocoaish. Balanced in two parts milk; aromatic wood is softened by an emerging caramel note.
