This is a washed, FTO (Fair Trade Organization) certified coffee. It also comes
to us sealed grain-pro burlap lined bags. Grain-pro packaging
is being utilized more and more on exceptional coffees for the
purpose of maintaining proper bean moisture content and to prevent
baggy flavors that eventually develops in green coffee after it
has been in contact long enough with it's surrounding jute bag.
Roasting Notes: This coffee is too nice to roast
dark. You can, but the sweetness will quickly turn into malt and
the uniqueness of the coffee will simply evaporate. It is a fairly
dense bean, so roast it similar to a high-grown Central American
and slow the final temperature curve way down to prevent tipping
(for roaster machines that are capable of slowing down the temp).
If it smells like skunk one hour after roasting, you've scorched
the tips at the end of the roast cycle.
Cupping Notes: Intense floral notes. Jasmine,
coriander, orange peel very well balanced together. Very nice
mouth feel and a long, lingering, sweet lemony aftertaste. Long,
pleasant aftertaste. Very clean cup. Holds its own as a single
origin espresso. Excellent for other brewing methods such as Hario
or French Press.
