Description
Two awesome but very different tasting coffees blended together to create perfection in a cup! Well, perfection is in the eyes of the beholder, but this blend is very tasty and will appeal to a wide variety of coffee fans. A bit on the exotic side, works well from light to dark. Fruity with nutty/earthy/chocolaty tones at the lighter roast points, while darker roasts promote more stout like, smoky with heavy bakers chocolate tones.
As an upfront warning, the natural tones come through in the cup no matter the roast point, so if you do not like fruity naturals, this is not the blend for you!
Contrast blending is the same idea behind a Mokka/Java blend. Take something fruity and lighter toned and blend with something hefty and darker toned. This blend is a joy for the beans are perfectly matched, both produced by the same operation and processed to the same specs.
Tasting Notes:
Lighter roasting works well suprisingly well for an Indo coffee, the Bali coffees are always decently clean comparatively to a Sumatra, will have a bit of an earthier finish but a lovely cup with strong red fruit tones and a hint of darker toned nutty contrast. Sweet with a bit of floral in the aftertaste. Medium roasts mellow the cup a bit, turn the nuttier factor more chocolaty and refine the fruitiness. Smoother and a bit easier to drink all day but less wild in your face natural tones. Darker roasts get smoky and strong, much more bakers chocolate like tones with smoky accents, the fruitiness comes through in the aromatics and aftertaste, also as the cup cools.
Roasting Notes:
Roasting is pretty easy on this pre-blend, the coffees are matched well and roast pretty even (especially for a blend!). The natural is high chaff, but the semi-washed is very low chaff, so all in all, this cup rates as a medium chaff coffee, shouldnt cause any issues. Lighter roasting and shooting for a fruitier cup, great tasting pretty much out of the roaster. Darker roasts needed a little time to setup or risked a bit of sour/bitter contrast. Smooth and definied 3-4 days after roasting.
