Blind Assessment
A complete but rather simple profile; decent acidity balances the pungency of the moderately dark roast. Hints of vanilla intensify and the entire profile sweetens as the coffee cools.
Notes
Large-bean maragogipe delivers a complete but rather simple profile where decent acidity balances the pungency of the moderately dark roast. Hints of vanilla and sweetness intensify as it cools. Another shade-grown coffee verified by the American Birding Association. Thanksgiving Coffee is a pioneer supporter of socially progressive and organic coffees, and now is a leader in building a comprehensive sustainable coffee movement.

Who Should Drink It
Aficionados curious about the Maragogipe, a distinguished and noble tree whose very large, showy beans are sometimes more exciting to the eye than to the palate. In the cup they often lack dimension, which seems to be the case here.
