Blind Assessment
A tribute to the tartly sweet, invigorating sensation coffee insiders call acidity. In the aroma richly fruity and orange-toned; in the cup giddy with rich, high-toned acidity laced with fruit suggesting oranges and tart cherries. The acidity softens and sweetens voluptuously in the finish.
Notes
The Roasterie is a leading, quality-oriented specialty roaster that emphasizes its commitment to "air roasting," a technology utilizing a column of hot air rather than the conventional turning drum to agitate the roasting beans. Roasterie president Danny O'Neill is an indefatigable coffee traveler and farm visitor whose travel and generous personality has facilitated this and several other well-established "relationship" coffees. Proceeds from the sale of this coffee over the past five years have helped build a community center. Visit
