Blind Assessment

The slightly carbony cup seems more heavy than rich until the finish, when a deep-toned, pruny sweetness prevails, enlivened by a touch of spice or sandalwood. Things turn heavy again and a bit astringent in the aftertaste. Complex aroma, solid, buttery body.

Notes

Complex aroma, solid, buttery body seems more heavy than rich until the finish when a pruny sweetness prevails with a touch of spice. The Great Northern Coffee Company is a small wholesale roaster located in the town of Jackson, south of Yellowstone Park.

Who Should Drink It

Perhaps this Costa Rica was not quite distinctive enough to stand up to the aggressive, rather dark roast style. Its substantial body and slightly sweet heaviness make it a good choice for drinking with milk or cream.
