Blind Assessment
An aromatically rather simple coffee with a tremendous relaxed and almost voluptuous structure. In the aroma low-toned and round with hints of flowers and cherry-toned fruit. Softly acidy and sweetly and deeply rich in the cup. Sweet, almost sugary finish.

A special small lot from farmer Nelson Melo. Alterra is a quality-oriented small-batch wholesale and retail roaster with a small chain of caf? locations in Milwaukee and environs. Visit
