SCA score on arrival sample: 81.75

Cup profile commentary: 

A classic African blending component, largely chosen because of it’s pleasant acidity profile and espresso-centric flavour notes. Brown spice aromatics with a smooth mouthfeel and notes of caramelised sugar, grape and nutmeg. It’s inherently destined to flourish in an espresso blend.​
