Haiti Baptiste Bleu Coffee

CUPPING NOTES FROM OUR HEAD ROASTER

This coffee opens with a delicate sweetness, like marshmallow, soft and airy, bringing a comforting warmth to the cup. Rich cocoa powder follows, grounding the profile with deep, earthy notes that add weight and depth. As the cup cools, dried apricot emerges, offering a subtle tartness that balances the sweetness and rounds out the flavor. The finish is clean and satisfying, with cocoa and apricot lingering in a smooth, velvety embrace.
