Product Description

I noticed some subtle differences between this and our last lot, but they cupped very closely in flavor and score. The dry fragrance has very nice raw sugar smells, along with aromatic spice notes, and fruit hints that are slightly winey. The wet aroma is layered with sweetness, with sugar-browning aspects, and a hint of cinnamon stick. You get the same aromatic complexity in the lot when kept to a light roast. The cup has spirited flavors of spiced herbal and black teas and compact, underlying sweetness. Raw sugar notes open up to some dried green apple, and a note of Darjeeling tea that marks the aroma. The acidity has a refreshing malic side to it, like fresh pear. Full City roasts produce layers of rich chocolate bittersweetness, intermixed with a hint of dark fruits, like dried black fig. Beyond Full City+ brings out smokey roast flavors which I'm not as much of a fan of in this type of coffee, but I can see hitting 2nd snaps if you're wanting a coffee that stands up to milk, or dark-roasted espresso. Rosma is always a great Guatemalan espresso too. Thick, rich chocolate flavors have depth in bittersweetness, and the syrupy liquid is marked by a slight tangy citrus hint, and fruited accents in the finish.
