Blind Assessment
The acidity is light and bright with a shimmer of fruit. At the center of the profile a slight pungency is nuanced by dry wine tones. Not much range, but solid dimension and outstanding balance.
Notes
An excellent Latin-American style coffee. The acidity is light and bright with a shimmer of fruit. Slight pungency nuanced by dry wine tones. Limited range, but solid dimension and outstanding balance. City Bean is an award-winning, three-outlet boutique roaster headquartered in West Hollywood, California.
Who Should Drink It
The best-seller factor:An excellent Latin-American style coffee. A bit light in the cup compared with some Antiguas, but balanced, lively and complete. Is it the quality alone, or the relative easiness of the profile that attracts City Bean's customers?
