Product Description

At City to City+ roast level, the dry fragrance was accented by sweet smells of unrefined cane sugar, mild cocoa tones, and dark steeped black tea. The wetted grounds offered a more aromatic sweetness, with a note of dulce de leche caramel, along with vanilla bean, and meringue cookies. In the cup, light roasts were pleasantly bracing, with accents of citrus that feed into the acidity. La Folie packs a little more 'umph' than your average bittersweet Central American coffee, but with a balancing sweetness that's has made it a daily drinker for me. The acidic impression connects to a very nice finishing flavor of caramel, and is a bit more complex than our previous lot, with a hint of Rooibos tea. The mouthfeel is creamy, substantial on the palette, and the flavors in the aftertaste come to a point. This is a prime example of top shelf wet-processed Guatemalan coffee, and while it will stand up to darker roasting, I found light-to-medium roasts showcase all it has to offer as brewed coffee.
