Blind Assessment
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.
Notes
The term natural means this coffee was dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit was removed. Most Brazil coffee is dried inside the fruit, but this natural Brazil shows a particularly ripe fruit character that is exceptional for the type.
