Blind Assessment
Balanced, muted aroma with orange notes and a hint of milk chocolate. In the cup sweet, rather rich, balanced. Not much nuance, a hint of bittersweet chocolate perhaps. Pleasantly rich and sweet in the short finish; maintains sweetness in the long with little astringency.
Notes
Health angle: Infused with Echinacea, an herb whose supporters claim stimulates the body's immune system and helps ward off infection. Caffe Botanica small-batch roasts and naturally infuses its coffees with herbs and minerals. Visit
Who Should Drink It
This quiet but pleasant coffee is appropriately soothing, adding sensory reassurance to its health claims.
