Blind Assessment

Complex, multi-layered, resonantly deep. Dark chocolate, summer savory herb, creme brulee, Asian pear, violet in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with richly bittersweet acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Crisply chocolaty finish supported by Asian pear and summer savory notes.

Notes

Produced by Arturo Aguirre of El Injerto Farm entirely of the big-beaned Pacamara variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed before beans are dried). Founded in 1995 by Brooke McDonnell and Helen Russell, Equator Coffees operates retail stores in the San Francisco Bay Area and southern California and provides coffee to hundreds of wholesale accounts.

Bottom Line

A fine umami-tending cup with equal impulses toward savory and sweet, contributing impressive depth and complexity to the profile.
