CUPPING

The aroma of the coffee is of clove, almond, wheat germ, jasmine, chia, chicory, dragon's blood, frankincense, chicory, blood orange, black current, oolong, and bakers chocolate

This is a medium body coffee that is smooth with a melted chocolate feel that is creamy and sticky

This is a high acidity coffee that is bright with a sharp forward note that has a tart lingering taste

The flavors of this coffee are of tart cherry, cedar, bakers chocolate, all spice, turmeric, chicory, wheat germ, black walnut, mangosteen, cantaloupe, clove stem, soil, red grapefruit pith, calamondin, and vanillin

As it cools notes of vanillin, plum and butterscotch develop along with a creamy chocolate and a sour peach

French Press

Tha aroma has notes of chocolate that is very delicate, almond flour, soil, black current, honeycomb, all spice, thyme, and clove stem

The body is weak and more to a tea like consistency and is watery with a very dry finish that lingers

The acidity is almost gone, there is some very slight hint of it but barely noticeable

The flavors of the cup are of chicory, soil, black walnut, cocoa nib, black tea leaf powder, oak, cara cara orange, bing cherry, grape leaf, asperagas water and white cranberry

I do not recomend this coffee by French Press in any way
