Blind Assessment
Sweetly nutty. Almond, green grape, star anise, caramel, buttered toast in aroma and cup. Gentle, balanced acidity; very syrupy mouthfeel. Green grape and caramel notes are front and venter in the crisp finish.
Notes
Produced by Porfirio Velasquez, from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and Sarchimor varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Certifications: FLOCERT. Wonderstate Coffee, formerly Kickapoo Coffee, is an award-winning roaster based in rural Wisconsin known for its commitment to guaranteeing higher pay for farmers and operating the country’s first 100% solar-powered roastery.

Bottom Line
A familiar, pleasing cup: caramelly and nut-toned, complicated by star anise tones.
