Blind Assessment
A rich, lightly roast-toned dark chocolate enveloped in lush floral sweetness dominates in aroma and cup. Hints of banana and honey. Rich, round, gently tart acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is mildly drying, but a resonant chocolate sweetness prevails in the long.
Notes
From the Nyoni Cooperative Union of small holding producers in Tanzania in the highlands above Lake Nyasa. This coffee is Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning it was produced following sustainable ecological and socio-economic criteria developed by the Sustainable Agricultural Network, a coalition of independent, environment-focused non-governmental organizations. Caribou Coffee is a retail roasting chain based in the upper Middle West whose rather irreverent motto "Life is short. Stay awake for it" belies a serious approach to coffee.
