Descriptions:
“If you can’t say something nice..”
If you just settle for anything in life and enjoy being fooled, this coffee is for you. The fragrance was savory barley tomato stew with cannoli beans and toast. The aroma was sweet, toasted fruitcake with blueberry jam. The flavor – God awful! It was burnt and unpleasant. No words for it.
Interesting flavors of soy sauce, sesame and pepper. Cocoa and peppery break, but an extremely burnt harsh flavor. Very difficult to drink.
This coffee tastes a lot like roach spray, chemicals, rubber, and things found in a foundry. It smells sweet and nutty though. The body is bright and light and the aftertaste bitter.
Smelled very floral. Comes together very tart. Doesn’t start or finish well. Bitter aftertaste. Too acidic, leaving the essence of lemon or lime added to the coffee.
