Blind Assessment
The aroma is delicate, balanced, with nut, molasses, moist pipe tobacco, a hint of tart fruit. Soft acidity, silky mouthfeel, quietly distinctive flavor: continued nut and molasses notes, a hint of fir. The fruit notes are pungent and deep: black current, black cherry. A dry fruit-toned finish stays on the rich side of astringent.
Notes
Doi Chaang is a single-estate coffee produced by a northern Thailand hill tribe in the Golden Triangle mountains of Thailand and roasted in Alberta, Canada. The independent coffee growers receive over 50% of the profits of this unusual and pioneering venture. This coffee consists entirely of peaberries, a kind of bean that results when the coffee fruit develops only a single, oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. Peaberries produce a somewhat different (often better) cup than normal beans from the same crop, from which they may or may not be separated during grading.

Who Should Drink It
Subtle, gently rich and exotic breakfast cup with a fine and genuine story.
