This curious coffee begins with the aroma of sweet herbs layered with an earthy combination of nuts, meat and roots. The main flavor characteristics are deep, dark and savory, starting with bittersweet, dark chocolate. One particularly unique tone that comes through is licorice. The mouthfeel is dry and comes across as tight and compact. The hints of cinnamon, a little clove, and dark savory herbs follow through to the finish. This coffee improves greatly as it cools and is superb at room temperature.
