Blind Assessment: Roundly rich aroma dominated by intense, heady tones of fruit and aromatic wood. Silky mouthfeel, medium body and a bright-toned, though in no way sharp, acidity. In the cup a juicy impression and notes of cedar, grapefruit and sweet pipe tobacco, all persisting deeply into the long finish.
Notes: Based on the cup, this coffee appears to be a wet-hulled Sumatra. From the classic Lintongnihuta growing district in the Lake Toba region.
