Blind Assessment
Complex, rich, deep. Flowers, lemon and a crisp baker's chocolate dominate aroma and cup and saturate a long, resonant finish. Delicately rich acidity, silky mouthfeel.
Notes
This version of the ancient Mocha-Java blend combines a genuine Java from the government estates of East Java with a delicate wet-processed Yirgacheffe from Ethiopia. Established in 1963, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is a large Los Angeles-based roaster and retailer with over 700 locations in twenty countries. Visit
Who Should Drink It
The aromatic intensity of a fine wet-processed Ethiopia with a bonus richness and depth supplied by the Java.
