Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso.Fudgy, roast-rounded. Chocolate fudge, narcissus, hazelnut, coconut, pomegranate in aroma and small cup. Creamy-smooth mouthfeel; resonant, fudgy finish with coconut undertones. In three parts milk, rich-toned, decadent, floral.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the SL28, SL34 and Batian varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying. In addition to his retail roasting operation, Aroma Roast Coffees, Simon Hsieh also operates Soaring Phoenix Trading, a business focused on purpose-built commercial espresso blends and high-quality single-origin coffees. Customers can also visit the new showroom, Chateau Andy, in Taipei City. Visit www.facebook.com/4ArtsZeroDefectCoffees or call 886-0983-749876 for more information.
Bottom Line
A roasty-sweet, flavor-saturated Kenya SOE — deftly darker-roasted and quietly classic in its balance, heft and profile in the cappuccino shot.
