Blind Assessment
Rich-toned, complex, bittersweet. Dark chocolate, sweet tobacco, dried fig, nutmeg, molasses in aroma and cup. Gentle, round acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Brisk finish carried by dark chocolate and tobacco notes.
Notes
A blend of coffees from Sumatra, Indonesia (wet-hulled), Colombia (washed) and Kenya (washed). Founded in 1995 by Brooke McDonnell and Helen Russell, Equator Coffees operates retail stores in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California and provides coffee to hundreds of wholesale accounts.

Bottom Line
A deftly darker-roasted blend designed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Chef Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry — deeply chocolaty, gently spice-toned, sweetly earthy.
