Blind Assessment

Complex aroma -- citrus, flowers, vanilla, rosehips, cinnamon and caramel. Bright, lingering acidity, full body, silkiness in mouthfeel, with a salty sweetness in structure. Flavors of Meyer lemon, salted caramel, floral hints and berries. Toast, nut and chocolate develop in the finish, sweetening in the long.

Notes

From southern Arabia, this is a dry-processed or "natural" coffee, meaning the beans are dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit is removed, as is the case with wet-processed or "washed" coffees. Paradise Roasters prides itself on roasting and shipping coffee only after orders are placed. Its metaphoric mission is to bring some paradisiacal warmth from the coffee-growing south to the cool environs of Minnesota. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.
