NOTES:
Raw Sugar | Jamaican Jerk Seasoning | Espresso

The espresso is poured into a charred cedar cup, stirred with leather spoon. The raw sugar is in there, and in everysavorywhere, a curiously sweet-smoothing vibe in such murky inky umami depths. In the 2nd-3rd, it dominates thru a slight lull. Surrounding the whole thing is that Jamaican Jerk. It stays on your fingers while you snack on black licorice. Comes served on toasted pumpernickel. Perhaps this reads like a near impenetrable block of text, perhaps this smokes that way, but very much worth patiently breaking through.

Use the lull.
