This past winter, I attended Coffee Fest Portland, and was pleasantly surprised and curious to see a booth selling specialty Haitian coffee—and further, that this Haitian coffee scored 92 points on the Coffee Review scale. The coffee tasted fantastic, as it was smooth and mellow, yet a pronounced acidity managed to balance it out finely.
