Blind Assessment
A ready-to-drink black coffee, tested cold. Rich, floral-toned, intricate and complex. Notes of wisteria, Keemun black tea, cocoa nib, Meyer lemon, frankincense. Crisp, tart-leaning structure with sweet undertones and juicy acidity; refreshing, velvety mouthfeel. Satisfying, lingering finish with notes of black tea and lemon. Stands up to milk with continued tartness and amplification of the cocoa note.
Notes
This coffee tied for the highest rating in a tasting of ready-to-drink black coffees for Coffee Review’s July 2020 tasting report. Prepared by the cold-brew method, which involves prolonged steeping of ground coffee in cold or room-temperature water and subsequent filtering. Contains no additives or ingredients other than coffee and water. The green coffee used is a washed-process Ethiopia Nano Challa. Bonfire Coffee is a Colorado-based roaster and café centered around the metaphor of a Bonfire that represents community and coffee. For more information, visit www.bonfirecoffee.com.
Bottom Line
Sweet, juicy, citrusy, bright: Pair it with a slice of lemon meringue pie.
