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
