The documented profile

Attributed descriptors, not measured flavor intensities. See the sources below.

Flavor families classify the listed descriptors; they are not intensity or quality scores. Character bands below explain what is documented and what is still unknown.

Reading the cup

Coffee character.

The outlined band shows the reported or estimated level. These describe the cup; higher is not better.

Reported · Source descriptionEstimated · Editorial interpretation, untested

Roast level

Reported
  1. Light
  2. Medium-light
  3. Medium
  4. Medium-dark
  5. Dark

Placed at the roast band given by the source. This is a label, not an instrument-measured roast color. Source ↗

What does roast level mean?

The roast degree of the bean; separate from sweetness, body and quality.

Acidity

Estimated · low confidence
  1. Gentle
  2. Moderate
  3. Bright

A moderate acidity band is our provisional starting guess from the roast and listed descriptors. The source does not establish this intensity. Reference for estimate ↗

What does acidity mean?

The perceived brightness or tartness of the cup, not a quality score.

Sweetness

Estimated · low confidence
  1. Subtle
  2. Noticeable
  3. Pronounced

Sweet-associated descriptors suggest noticeable sweetness as a provisional expectation. Flavor names do not measure sweetness intensity; this is a low-confidence guess. Reference for estimate ↗

What does sweetness mean?

How strong the sweet impression feels. Sweet-sounding notes can inform a guess, but do not measure its intensity.

Body / mouthfeel

Estimated · low confidence
  1. Light
  2. Rounded
  3. Full

Rounded is a low-confidence starting hypothesis for this profile. The available information does not directly establish texture or weight. Reference for estimate ↗

What does body / mouthfeel mean?

The perceived weight and texture of the coffee, separate from roast darkness.

Finish

Estimated · low confidence
  1. Brief
  2. Sustained
  3. Lingering

A sustained finish is our low-confidence baseline in the absence of a duration description. The notes and processing do not establish how long the flavor lasts; tasting may move this band in either direction. Reference for estimate ↗

What does finish mean?

How long the flavors remain after a sip, rather than how good they are.

Coarse descriptive bands, not laboratory measurements or cupping category scores. Brewing changes the cup. Missing descriptions receive low-confidence editorial guesses, which can change after tasting.

Our take

Dark chocolate and toffee place this offering near the cocoa-led side of the map, while orange provides a citrus counterpoint. A chocolate descriptor describes flavor; it is not evidence that the roast is dark.

Who it suits

A useful comparison for someone who wants familiar chocolate references with a fruit accent, rather than an exclusively floral or tropical profile.

Behind the coffee

Blaq identifies Peru’s Cajamarca highlands, washed processing, a medium roast and a reported altitude of 1,600 m. The product page does not identify a specific producer or cultivar in the preserved specifications, so those remain unknown.

What the number means

The listed 83.5/100 is a roaster-reported cupping total. No dated category sheet was located. We have not tasted this offering and do not manufacture a score breakdown.
