Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Spice-toned, richly sweet-savory. Baking spices, mulberry, dark caramel, marjoram, narcissus in aroma and small cup. Nectar-like mouthfeel; crisp, sweet finish. In cappuccino-scaled milk, mulberry and clove notes lead, with undertones of dark caramel and narcissus.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers from trees of the Gayo 1, Gayo 2, Catimor and  Abyssinia varieties of Arabica and processed by the conventional washed method, rather than the wet-hulled variation more typical of Sumatra. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line

A rare conventionally washed-process Sumatra cup, roasted for espresso, rich, spice-toned and floral.
