Product Description

This is a nicely balanced cup when roasted in the middle to dark range, expressing burned sugars and mild bittersweetness that extend to the aftertaste. The sweetness in the smells are a tad more muted than what you find in the cup, but shows an array of chocolatey smells like semi-sweet chips, baking cocoa and a chocolate cookie note. My first impression is that the cup is markedly sweeter than the smells let on, with flavors of baked sugar and caramel. Acidity is fairly muted, but present, and a cool cup produces accents of marshmallow and candy corn. Espresso shots yield chocolate-laden profile with smokey roast and pepitas accents that remind me of mole sauce. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
