CUPPING

The aroma is of cream, caramel, molasses, liquid smoke, sandalwood, date, coca nib, velveta

This is a heavy body that is thick like syrup with a velvety feel that lingers through out finishing with a creamy coating

This is a high acidity coffee that is citrus forward that is sharp, tart, and bright. it does mellow out to a juicy and lingering dense feel

 

The flavor is of Eureka lemon, blood orange pith, cedar, dutch process coca powder, ginger powder, bergamot, oolong tea, again pear, walnut, black cardamom, malt, white bread, and ends with a lavender finish

As it cools notes of raw sugar develop and cream with a subtle note of tangerine and radish

 

FRENCH PRESS

The aroma is just like it being cupped if not more pronounced 

The body is a lot weaker with a tea like consistency or dirty water

The acidity is has been toned down but is still high with more of a astringent citrus note to it and not as tart or sharp

The flavor is of grilled grapefruit and chicory with some adobo but really not much flavor or depth at all
