Blind Assessment
Savory-leaning, deep-toned. Artichoke blossom, salted caramel, lemon verbena, oak, a hint of musk in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with brisk acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The savory finish centers around notes of artichoke blossom and salted caramel.
Notes
Produced by members of the indigenous Inga community and processed by the honey method, in which the fruit skin is removed but some mucilage is left on the bean during drying. Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster in Portland, Maine that also operates three coffee shops in town, as well as one in Freeport.

Bottom Line
Sweet herb and perfumy musk notes complicate this intriguingly savory-toned honey-processed Colombia cup.
