Blind Assessment
Aromatically complete, with round sweet fruitiness, earthy aromatic wood and a hint of flowers. In the cup full body and smooth mouthfeel; sweet raisiny fruit deepens to wood, earth and dark chocolate. The deeper flavor notes carry into the finish, lingering sweetly in the long.
Notes
Coffee from the Toraja region of Sulawesi, once Celebes, typically displays a wild and often earth-toned character, the result of unorthodox methods of fruit removal and drying. Wicked Joe is a micro-roaster based in Maine with a mission of providing their customers with "epic coffee ... that is kind to both the earth and to the farmers." Visit
Who Should Drink It
A balanced cup of its type, with sweet fruit complications overlaying earth and aromatic wood.
