Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Brightly fruit-toned, deeply chocolaty, with savory undertones. Rambutan, sandalwood, kumquat, dark chocolate, freesia in aroma and small cup. Crisp, satiny mouthfeel; especially long, flavor-laden finish. In three parts milk, sandalwood notes frame the dark chocolate and tropical fruit throughlines.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers and processed by the natural anaerobic method (whole fruit is fermented in hermetically sealed vessels before drying). Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.
Bottom Line
An unusual espresso profile, this anaerobic Colombia is fruit-forward with spicy floral and deep chocolate notes, especially inviting in the plush, tartly savory straight shot.
