Blind Assessment
Not nearly as dramatic as the Olympic mountains, but satisfying and substantial. Straightforward, low-toned, agreeably balanced, vibrant and solid in mid-range, fresh and sweet in finish, complicated by a touch of intrigue that could be called chocolate. As the cup cools the sweet tones grow rounder, fuller and more distinctly chocolate.
Notes
Named for Caroline Skye, a Batdorf & Bronson roaster who originated this blend. The various components of this blend are decaffeinated by two different methods: the carbon dioxide and the indirect solvent methods. Visit www.batdorfcoffee.com or call 800-955-5282 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
The round, generous profile with its mildly dessert-like nuances makes this coffee an excellent afternoon or after-dinner choice for caffeine-sensitives.
