Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Rich, deep, balanced in the small cup. Cedar, orange, apricot, dark chocolate, a hint of flowers. Full, syrupy mouthfeel. Excellent presence in two parts milk, though surprisingly dry, displaying a citrusy dark chocolate that it’s tempting to call butterscotch.

Who Should Drink It
Syrupy, deep straight shot; should make its presence felt in larger, caffè latte quantities of milk.
