Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. In the straight shot complex floral notes ranging from lavender to lily, honey, fresh-cut cedar, vanilla-toned dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is medium in weight and lightly syrupy in texture; the finish sweet and resonantly persistent. Preserves character in two parts milk with a zesty orange-toned chocolate and a continuing hint of flowers.

Who Should Drink It
Those who enjoy distinctive single-origin profiles that have been rounded and deepened but not tamed for use in espresso applications. Maintains individuality even in short milk.
