Blind Assessment
Subtly dynamic, deeply and sweetly pungent. Roasted cacao nib, black currant, almond butter, lavender in aroma and cup. Crisp, juicy, balanced acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Roasted cacao nib leads a resonant short finish; in the long, a sweet coconut surfaces, giving the coffee a whiff of the tropics.
