Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Richly spice-toned, deeply floral. Honeysuckle, black cherry, baking spices, dark chocolate, amber in aroma and small cup. Plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel; finely balanced, flavor-saturated finish. The milk shot amplifies floral tones suggesting honeysuckle with undertones of black cherry and warming spices.

Notes

A blend of washed and natural-processed Ethiopia coffees imported by Catalyst Trade and a honey-processed Dominican Republic imported by Cafe Kreyol.

Bottom Line

An unusual blend of three coffees from two origins (Ethiopia and the Dominican Republic), each processed by a different method — washed, natural and honey — netting an impressively complex, multilayered espresso.
