Cupping Evaluation
Cupping Details
With preludes of smokey dark chocolate on the nose, the full and mostly round body matches expectation. At it's most acidic this coffee is pretty mellow with low tones of citrus and apple. The sweetness is present but subdued with a very mild tropical lushness. The lower tones show a little more dominance and complexity, offering pipe tobacco, smokey chocolate and nuts. The finish lingers with that same smoky tobacco with hints of herbs and leather.

Brewing Evaluation
Brewing Details
In the cup this coffee takes on a dark dry fruit character in the nose and is one of the times that we can honestly say it smelled mostly like roasted coffee. The body is full, creamy and tasting of baked apples, caramel and sweet maple, balancing its bitterness of semisweet chocolate and baking spices. The linger is long with notes of cocoa and smokey nuts. This coffee in three words- Full Body - Smokey - Sweet
