Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Bold, chocolaty and citrus-toned. Tangerine, sandalwood, lily and savory chocolate in aroma and cup. Plump, creamy mouthfeel; chocolate and tangerine persist in a pleasingly tart finish.

Notes

This coffee is a blend of beans from trees of the Caturra and Bourbon varieties, produced by Bernardo Solano, a third-generation farmer of the Concepcion Buena Vista family farm. It is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning that the fruit skin and pulp were removed before drying. Paradise Roasters specializes in micro-lot coffees and espressos from Hawaii and other premier coffee growing regions. The company 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.

Who Should Drink It

Those interested in breaking out of the classic espresso mode and into a compelling “New American” rendition animated by a complex play of savory chocolate, floral and citrus.
