Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Richly fruit-toned, roundly bright. Cantaloupe, apricot, buttery dark chocolate, fresh-cut cedar, a hint of honeysuckle in aroma and small cup. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; flowers carry into a crisp finish. Rather bright and dry in three parts milk but impressively nuanced: chocolate, apricot, cedar, all lingering in an impressively long, sweet finish.
Notes
This blend consists of a honey-processed Daterra Estate Brazil peaberry and a wet-processed or “washed” coffee from the Helsar de Zarcero Mill in Costa Rica. Flight Coffee Co.

Who Should Drink It
A classic espresso in the newer American style: bright but deep, sweet, complex.
