Product Description

A strong scent of cooked dark sugar is emitted from the dry fragrance, syrupy sweet and with caramel hints. Taking the roast to Full City coaxes out a bittersweet cocoa powder scent, but not without juicy dark fruit smells trailing. Pouring hot water brings about more of the cooked sugar side and this coffee's sweet side really comes through, and a marmalade jam/cooked orange note is released when breaking through the wetted crust. At City+, the liquor is buoyant on the palette like fruit juice, which reinforces some of the fruited flavor characteristics that accent cup. There's a date sugar sweet note as the cup cools, along with a bubblegum accent, which together have a sort of rice candy appeal. Acidity comes off like black tea and on the mild side, but bolstered a bit by rindy citrus notes in the finish. Full City roasts will appeal to fans of Kenyan espresso, the toned down acidity working well with espresso extraction method.
