Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Dark chocolate, Concord grape, scorched sugarcane, sandalwood, wisteria in aroma and small cup. Viscous, syrupy mouthfeel; richly chocolaty, sweetly smoky finish with floral depth. In three parts milk, decadent perfection: layers of undulating chocolate, wisteria and scorched sugarcane carry far into the long finish.

Bottom Line

A blend of coffees from four origins whose sum is a sweetly tart, bold, resonant straight shot and a floral, smoky, intoxicatingly chocolaty experience in milk.
