Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Sweetly and crisply pungent. Dark chocolate, gently scorched cedar, ripe plum, floral vanilla, a hint of port wine in aroma and small cup. Full, syrupy mouthfeel. Dark chocolate dominates in a roundly drying finish. Fills out three parts milk with depth and authority: vanilla, chocolate, continuing hint of port wine.

Notes

This blend is unusual in the context of leading-edge small North American roasting companies, because it contains a significant percentage of coffee of the Robusta species, in this case a speciality Robusta from southern Thailand, which undoubtedly contributes in particular to its plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Paradise Roasters specializes in micro-lot Arabica and Robusta coffees from Asia and other emerging origins. The company 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

Deeply and sweetly pungent, plump-bodied and resonantly original in its aromatics.
