Blind Assessment
Light-footed but discreetly smooth, almost creamy, with a lovely balance of acidy and sweet tones. Hints of fruit turn cocoaish toward the finish. Limited but elegant.
Notes
Light-footed but discreetly smooth, almost creamy, with a lovely balance of acidy and sweet tones. Hints of fruit turn cocoaish toward the finish. Apparently a blend of the same coffee brought to two distinctly different degrees of roast. Blue Mountain Trading Company both imports and roasts this organically grown and Fair-Trade Certified coffee.
Who Should Drink It
Well-dressed activists. Despite the rustic isolation of LaGrande, Oregon, this strikes me as an urbane, little black dress sort of coffee.
