Blind Assessment
A rather rough ride. The first impression is complex, but not entirely pleasantly so: a hard, ropey sensation sits on the profile. Behind and around the hard center a bracing, fruity richness opens, but we never get completely out from under the hardness, which, among other things, seems to depress the sweetness in the fruit.
Notes
The first impression is complex, but the profile is somewhat rough with a hard, ropey sensation which depresses the sweetness in the fruit. This blend takes the name literally. The "Mocha" is an authentic Yemen Mocha; the "Java" a wet-processed government estate Java. Dallis Bros. is a family owned business that is both wholesale roaster and importer of fine specialty coffee, and has long occupied a leadership position in the specialty industry.
