Blind Assessment
Sweet, deep, tobacco-toned. Sweet pipe tobacco, date, cedar, baking chocolate, freesia in aroma and cup. Balanced in structure, gently sweet-tart. Syrupy in mouthfeel; date, cedar, a hint of sweet tobacco in the finish.
Notes
Produced by small-holding farmers operating within the traditional Balinese spiritual, social and ecological system called Subak Abian, from the Typica, Bourbon and Catimor varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional Indonesian wet-hulled method. Based in southern Oregon, Noble Coffee Roasting is a wholesale and retail roasting company focused on quality, social responsibility and environmental awareness.

Bottom Line
Sumatra lite; nods with quiet delicacy toward the cedary, tobacco-toned depth we associate with wet-hulled Sumatras.
