Description
This is another great Cafe Kreyol offering. Thet go into some of the most impoverished and trouble areas that are within prime coffee growing territory, organizes farmers, teaches how to correctly process beans, guarantees purchase of the beans at way above market prices insuring it goes directly to the farmers and strives to really turn around some of the more trouble areas, putting people to work at well above average wages and insuring future livelihoods.
Joey, the head of Cafe Kreyol even strives for his US employees the above statement. He finds the hardest working individuals with great work ethics that for one reason or another have really been put down with employment and troubled times to help them recover and build a resume while also being able to help others.
One can feel real good about supporting any of Cafe Kreyols projects and for the most part – really tasty coffees as well.
Cafe Kreyol projects including this one are project coffees (although this is the nicest screen out of the lot), these are not a 0 defect beautiful large screen coffee. It takes around 5-7 years to really turn out a prime coffee operation and most of these are on year 2-3. Great tasting cups but keep in mind – not the worlds best screen.
Tasting Notes:
A very pleasant and smooth cup of coffee. Lower acidity and medium to full bodied. A small hint of islandy acidity at the light to medium roast points, which is what really separates this lot from many others we have had. Nutty, chocolaty with some small hints of soft fruit and floral tones at the lighter roast points. Turns pretty bold and bakers chocolaty into the dark roasts. A great gentle cup of coffee.
Roasting Notes:
We recommend a strong medium roast – just before the 2nd crack – keeps it fuller bodied and smooth. A cool cup at a city plus roast as well but will be nuttier with that island acidity. Dark roast is very tasty as well and pretty close to the Haitian Blue Mountain.
