The roast dominates the coffee, though gently. Toast, cedar and a hint of chocolate in the aroma. Sweetly pungent but simple in the cup, with slightly scorched cedar and Mediterranean herb notes and a continued hint of chocolate. The chocolate intensifies in the finish.

A gently sweet, ingratiating coffee. In the aroma caramel, cedar and orange notes with a hint of flowers. In the cup very sweet, with a dominating fruit-toned cocoa that carries into the long, clean finish.

Deep, pungently sweet aroma with cocoa, caramelly cedar, raisin, date and honey notes. In the cup rich, low-key, gently bittersweet with continued, very distinct cocoa and honey/date notes. Long finish with excellent flavor persistence. The cup flattens slightly as it cools.

Simple profile but deep, roasty and rich, quietly complicated by pungent cedar and suggestions of semisweet chocolate and yellow fruit, apricot perhaps. The mouthfeel is plump with a slight, not unpleasant roughness. The short finish is a touch astringent but quite rich; the chocolate tones linger nicely in the long.

Sweet-toned, intense aroma with walnut and chocolate notes and a hint of peach-like fruit. In the cup gentle, delicate, sweet, with a pleasantly vegetal cocoa character, a continued hint of fruit, and walnut tones that turn just a bit flat and woody as the cup cools. Delicate, pleasing but simple finish with continued walnut notes.
