Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Savory-sweet with a tart edge. Delicate chocolate and lemon, apricot, fir, savory-edged blackberry in aroma and small cup. In mouthfeel, full though rather dense in texture. Clean, rich, simple finish. In three-parts milk, straightforward, chocolate-toned.
Notes
Produced from trees of the Chiang Mai, Typica and Catuaí varieties and processed by the black honey method (skins are removed, but coffee is dried enveloped in the fruit fleshor honey) by veteran coffee miller Noi Duongdee. Exported by Beanspire coffee. Founded in 1995 by Brooke McDonnell and Helen Russell, Equator Coffees operates retail stores in the San Francisco Bay Area and southern California and provides coffee to hundreds of wholesale accounts.

Bottom Line
A simple but authoritative espresso from coffee produced in northern Thailand: savory-sweet, chocolaty, direct.
