The smells from the grind to the cup are perfumy-florals that evoke dandelions, a brown sugar sweetness, cocoa-chocolate and a mix of spices: savory and sweet, including a “red-hots” candy artificial cinnamon tone. The taste is high and bright, with a dominant citrus acidity similar to a tart plum. Although the scale is definitely tipped toward the bright, this coffee is actually quite balanced between acidic and silky, although it happens in sequence rather than simultaneously. The combination dusty cocoa and silky chocolate flavors follow quickly as the cup moves into a subtle, long finish. This is an exceptionally smooth cup.

On grinding and brewing, the aromatics are floral and of baking spices. In the cup, this is a big coffee with a lot of flavor. The complex, winey acidity is perfectly balanced with exceptional structure and body. The thick and creamy mouthfeel carries the berry/fruit acidity straight through the cup. And as it cools, subtle hints of tart raspberries or pomegranate are drawn out. This is a supremely elegant and sophisticated combination of flavors with a nice dark tone running through the middle. The finish is like a slow trip down a long, winding road. Fabulous.

Snickers? Lemonade? You’ve got to be kidding! The consensus here is milk chocolate with caramel and nuts mixed with a watery, citrus acidity. Other layers include apples and a powdery cocoa experience. We are thrilled to be able to offer this organically grown, artisanal bean from one of our favorite importers.
