Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Balanced, deep. Buttery dark chocolate, lush, lily-like flowers, orange, fresh-cut cedar in aroma and small cup. Plush though rather light mouthfeel. Hints of chocolate, lily and orange carry into a brisk, mildly drying finish. Crisply sweet and cocoa-toned in three parts milk.
Notes
The coffees in this blend all carry sustainable certifications. The components of the blend include a wet-processed Costa Rica from farmer Don Roberto and a certified organically grown wet-hulled Sumatra Mandheling G1. Fresh Cup is a sustainability-focused micro-roaster that roasts using a proprietary electrically heated closed-loop air roaster. Visit www.freshcup.ca or call 250-652-5678 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Classic moderately-dark-roasted espresso with a simple but attractive array of aromatics: chocolate, flowers, sweet citrus, pungent aromatic wood. Sustainably credentialed.
