Blind Assessment
Balanced, crisply sweet-savory. Tangerine zest, narcissus, marjoram, shitake mushroom, baking chocolate in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with quiet acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Floral-toned finish supported by notes of cocoa nib and marjoram.
Notes
Produced at Teofahza Farm entirely of the SL34 variety of Arabica, and processed by the honey method, in which some of the fruit flesh is left on the beans during drying. HWC Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster based in Taichung, Taiwan. For more information, visit www.hwcroasters.com.
Bottom Line
A multi-layered, crisply sweet-savory honey-processed Alishan cup with cocoa nib and sweet herb notes as throughlines.
