CUPPING
The aroma of this coffee is of baked cinnamon, bittersweet chocolate, black currant, caramel, plum, sapote, marionberry, soil, fresh tobacco, black cardamom, rye, jasmine, liquid smoke, and hickory
This is a medium body coffee that is juicy with a deep chewy complex coating like of a chili powder spice note that at the back
This is a medium - high acidity that is tart with a dull and astringent lingering dirty quality that is unbalanced
The flavors of this coffee are of black cardamom, sassafras root, ash, liquid smoke, black current, smoked paprika, hickory, burnt caramel, dry dutch process cocoa powder, fermented sapote, cedar, fresh tobacco, vanillin, and dried tobacco
As it cools a swat note developed like marshmallow but quickly dissipates bring an ashy note that is very strong along with the paprika being prominent
AEROPRESS
The aroma of the cup sassafrass root, black currant, hickory, cocoa powder, chamomile, black cardamom, bosc pear, wheat germ, soil and licorice root
The body s much fuller then being cupped with a sweeter and velvety texture
The acidity is much higher with a sharp and juicy feel like of lemon pith
The flavors of the cup are of asparagus, soil, licorice root, dried black current, hickory, tobacco, sapote, black cardamom, caramel, grilled lemon pith, and toasted almond
This is a palitable coffee this way compared to being cupped but I do not recomend this coffee is any way
