Product Description

The sweetness in the dry fragrance has a nice potency at City roast level, raw brown sugars, interspersed with dried lemon peel, and a sweet berry hint. Clean raw sugars are at the forefront of our notes on wet aroma, accompanied by hints of fruit, and a little malt powder too. I thought City roasts smelled a little like apple pie filling made from apples and brown sugar. The cup has a nice underlying flavor of burnt sugars, accented by orange spice and cinnamon stick, and a candied citrus peel note that probably informed my 'citric' note when commenting on acidic impression. Speaking of which, Namku has a nice level of supporting acidity, but it's not screaming bright like coffee from neighboring Kenya, and much more integrated into the cup sweetness. The finish has a leafy black tea note that underscores a tannic aspect, and pairs nicely with red berry, bringing about a flavor profile of red raspberry tea. While sweetness is maintained at Full City, I wouldn't take Namku AA into 2nd cracks. It just seems to erase the subtleties found in lighter roasts that I'm most fond of.
