Aroma

The aroma of this coffee is of almond paste, allspice, cocoa powder, dried papaya, strawberry cotton candy, magnolia, birch wood, blood orange, concord grape, rose water, and charcoal

Body

This medium-full-bodied coffee is thick and syrupy with a velvety finish leaving a moating in the back of your throat.

Acidity

This is a medium acidity coffee with a distinct malic acid taste and a tart afternote that’s lingering like green apple and oolong tea

Flavor

The flavors of this coffee are of malt, concord grape, strawberry jam, marionberry, dutch process coffee, pickled watermelon rind, raw almond, mitzu apple, oolong tea, citron, marjoram, dragons blood, and soy sauce

As it cools notes of the marionberry are more developed along with grape syrup, and a eel sauce


Chemex w/ bleached Filter 

The aroma is of yogurt, marshmallow, magnolia, lemon verbena, and cork

The body is much weaker to the point its tea-like

The acidity is much lower with just the astringent taste of the chalk-like malic acid remaining

The flavors have been subdued, with the grape and orange jam being forward and subtle notes of the cocoa now more on the backers' chocolate side. There is also a black apricot-like taste, along with blue corn in the back.
