Q-Grading

Licensed Q-Grader: Mike Mac Donald

SCA score on arrival sample: 82.75

Cup profile commentary: Sweet with red apple and cherry notes up front, with a slightly fizzy like acidity which seems to improve the balance substantially. Improved further by a slightly buttery mouthfeel. Would make for a superb single origin espresso and will certainly become a defining component for many blend ideas.
