Descriptions:
Seasoned meat like an outdoor bbq, breaking into grilled vegetables, with the sweetness of corn. High key acidity with smokey earthy flavor follow. A medium body and a chocolate aftertaste.
Dark and meaty, this coffee wants to be taken very seriously. Light citrus notes lighten the mood.
You’re boring, coffee.
Another savory coffee, grilled steak aromas combine well with hazelnut flavors. The cup does not pack a punch though. There are also real sawdust flavors in…
Sweet and mellow. Starts very nice with a mild bitter aftertaste. Brings in notes of sweet chocolate and sugar.
This coffee is ok. The flavor was a pleasant surprise of crisp blackberries and walnuts. The body is light and the aromas are doughy and bready. It’s hard to write about boring coffees. Moving on.
This coffee begins with scents of fruity candy, and crisp clean laundry detergents. The dim brightness and thick, heavy body lend well to the rich flavors of caramelized papayas. Toasted sugar makes the pleasant aftertaste worth the drinking.
