Blind Assessment
An exquisitely balanced traditional American-style coffee. The acidity is dry without astringency, alive with slight fruit or wine notes. Enveloped in the matrix of the body, it is always present but never dominant.

Who Should Drink It
Traditionalists who are acute enough to catch the grace notes. Don't waste this coffee on a buffet, the fruit notes will burn off before anyone tastes them. Brew it in a drip maker, but drink it mindfully, right after it dribbles. Go easy on the additives. If you're entertaining a small group that mixes coffee snobs with supermarket palates, this one might have a shot at pleasing everybody.
