Blind Assessment
No carbon and lots of sweetness here, smoothing and rounding the dark-roast pungency. A pleasing smokiness turns sweet and ambiguously chocolate in the aftertaste.
Notes
Sweet and not burnt. For every pound sold of this coffee, Allegro donates 25 cents to fund fresh water projects in Kenyan coffee growing areas, making this quite literally a gift coffee.
Who Should Drink It
The holiday factor:Another after-dinner comfort coffee, full of reassuring sweet notes and cushioned corners. A good choice for the family chocolate-lover.
