Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Crisply chocolaty, sweetly nutty. Baking chocolate, hazelnut butter, black cherry, cedar, orange zest in aroma and small cup. Crisply satiny mouthfeel; gently drying, nutty finish. In three parts milk, chocolate notes bloom and commingle with sweet hazelnut.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers near the Kalsada Sitio San Roque mill entirely of the Robusta species, and processed by the anaerobic natural method, in which whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying, still in the whole fruit. Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.

Bottom Line

An impressive Robusta espresso from The Philippines: chocolaty, sweetly nutty, and complex; especially appealing in cappuccino format.
