Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Richly and roundly bright; chocolaty and floral. Guava, tangerine, dark chocolate, sandalwood, lily in aroma and small cup. Smooth, silky-satiny mouthfeel; dry though flavor-saturated finish. Flowers, sweetly tart fruit and chocolate all carry with rich authority into three parts milk.

Produced by Olga Beltran of La Palma & El Tucan, an innovative, quality- and sustainability-focused Colombia producer.

Bottom Line
A bright yet lush straight shot that expresses its complexity with particular conviction in cappuccino-sized milk.
