Blind Assessment
Sweetly smoky, crisply chocolaty. Scorched cedar, baking chocolate, lemon-thyme, candy apple, lily in aroma and cup. Bittersweet structure with velvety mouthfeel; the crisp, chocolaty finish is supported by notes of lemon-thyme and lily.
Notes
Desert Sun’s roastery is located at nearly 7,000 feet above sea level in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. It imports its coffee through its membership in Coop Coffees, a cooperative importer. Visit www.desertsuncoffee.com or call 866-998-6299 for more information.
Bottom Line
Unabashedly smoky with chocolaty depth, this Peru/Honduras/Mexico blend offers comfortingly classic dark-roast aromas and flavors.
