Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Rich-toned, sweetly savory and deep. Amber resin, cocoa butter, scorched grapefruit zest, gardenia, almond brittle in aroma and small cup. Plush, roast-buoyed mouthfeel; honeylike finish with smoky amber undertones. In cappuccino format, deeply floral, cocoa-toned, gently smoky in harmony.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 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 darker-roasted SOE with a throughline of perfumy, amber-like reason notes and rich florals throughout the profile — especially on point in the straight show.
