Blind Assessment

Sweetly tart, subtly deep. Dark chocolate, vanilla, rose-like flowers, passion fruit, a hint of sweet, dry herb in aroma and cup. Round, richly balanced acidity; light but plush, satiny mouthfeel. Richly resonant finish, drying in the short, sweet in the long.

Notes

Propeller is a Toronto-based micro-roaster with a dedication to careful selection and exceptional craft roasting of high-end coffees, the outgrowth of five years of successful business as the three-location Crema Coffee café chain.
