Blind Assessment
Hugely rich, big-bodied, low-toned. Roundly full apricot and peach notes in both aroma and cup. A slight hint of mustiness shadows aroma and finish, but the cup is grandly clean.
Notes
Clou du Mont is a revived Puerto Rican specialty coffee marketed on a wine model. This coffee is from the last year's Clou du Mont crop. Based my cupping of green samples the new crop should be a bit better than this already rather impressive coffee. Dallis Bros. is a family owned business that is both wholesale roaster and importer of fine specialty coffee, and has long occupied a leadership position in the specialty industry.

Who Should Drink It
For many palates the hint of mustiness will add a pleasing roughness to this fine, full-throated version of the classic Caribbean cup.
