CUPPING
The aroma of this coffee is of oak, hazelnut, soil, sapote, dried apricot, blackberry, vanilla sugar, concord grape, dried black current, red apple, bergamot, cedar, and delicate hint of tobacco
This is a full body coffee with a smooth and rich creamy mouth fell that is thick like a syrup
This is a high acidity coffee that is bright with a tart juicy complexity tapering to a sweet delicate balance
The flavors of this coffee are of merlot grape, black current, bergamot, cedar, tobacco, sapote, coca nib, blackberry, black apple, raw honey, blood orange caramel, dried apricot, goji, soil, pinion, and hops
As it cools a creamy caramel develops along with a red grapefruit peel. There are notes of red grape, lingonberry, and pulasan present that where not before and has mellowed out a lot
GINO
The aroma of the cup is of sapote, dill, hazelnut, bergamot, celery seed, black apple, soil, summer savory, dried coffee cherry, crimson raisin, and apple banana
The flavors of the cup are of summer savory, plantain, sapote, malt, black current, roasted cocoa nibs, hazelnut skin, dried apricot, black current, tobacco, and bergamot
The body is smooth and creamy with a rich velvety mouth feel
The acidity has been lowered but is still bright and juicy with a sweet delicate complexity
This is to me the best way to brew this coffee
CHEMEX
The aroma is of march chocolate, chicory, cane sugar, black grape, black apple, and black cardamom, tangerine, hazelnut and plum
The flavors are of tart cherry, caramel, summer savory, plantain, sapote, celery seed, red grapefruit, vanilla, and red grape
The acidity is much like the Gino, bright and vibrant with a juicy tartness
The body is medium with a creamy and slightly rougher mouth feel then the Gino
I recommend using this for batch brewing this coffee
