Blind Assessment
Low-toned, subdued but sweet and rich, with an almost chewy body and a tantalizing suggestion of flowers, lavender perhaps. As the cup cools a slight rubbery note emerges, reflecting either a roasting fault or a storage or processing problem with the green coffee.

Who Should Drink It
Fast coffee drinkers. An impressively full bodied, rich cup when hot; excellent with whitener.
