Origin The coffee cherries are grown and processed in the province of Nariño in Southwest Colombia - a precipitous landscape known for its breathtaking scenery and active volcanoes. Many Starbucks blends are enriched with Nariño's fine coffee.
Assessment
Rather intense first impression followed by a busy mid-taste. Slightly heavy for a medium roast, intense acidity turns round as it cools. Slightly lingering aftertaste, but not unpleasant.
Aroma 8/10
Acidity 8/10
Body 7/10
Flavour 7/10
Aftertaste 7/10
Recommendations
The complexity of the taste, and the strong pleasant aroma makes it ideal as a mid-morning jolt, when the extra zing is needed to carry you through till lunch-break. Good on its own, I'll have this brew around when I'm tied down, through some paperwork that needs extra brain-work.
