6 Half-Pound Sampler – Burman Coffee Favorites:

Description

Sample some classic coffee flavor profiles from around the world! A half pound each of:

Costa Rican SHB EP Tarrazu La Pastora
The aroma is floral and sweet like honey. A nice medium bodied, smooth & creamy cup of coffee with little stronger floral aspect, medium to low acidity. It does get a good lemongrass tone at lighter roasts with a soft fruit tone as the cup cools, crisper cup with a slight nutty tone. Turns much more chocolaty into the medium or dark roasts. The cup finishes with a pleasantly surprising spiciness. This is a savory cup of coffee with wonderful complexities.

Ethiopian Guji Org. Natural Gr. 1 – Kayon Mountain Shakiso
Clean, bright, sweet with a very diverse flavor set. Stone and darker fruit, citrus & floral, and spiced chocolate tones are the main flavors one can see in this cup, either accentuated or muted depending on roast level. Nice jammy body will be seen in the medium to borderline dark roast mark. Very dependent on roast – lighter roasting gives much more of the citrus, red-fruit with just a hint of a spicy chocolaty factor, a much dryer finish. Darker roasts produce much more of a bakers chocolate cup with a hint of a strawberry like fruit note and good sweetness, far less acidic. A very enjoyable cup from light to dark.

Brazil Premium Cerrado Mineiro – Fazenda Londrina – Catucai Natural

A highly rated cup good from light to dark. A fuller bodied and lower acidity bean. Even though lower acidity, lighter roasts will have some jazzy citric/floral brightness keeping it nice and crisp. Hints of caramel and a sweet edge from the light to medium roast level. Has some rocking’ spice notes reminiscent of bergamot or a darker tea especially in the aftertaste.

Tasty from light to dark but we loved medium roasts the best; smooth and more creamy, sweet edged with just a hint of floral upfront, good nutty/caramel tones and some spice in the aftertaste. Darker roasts are strong and far less sweet, tastes a little more like a standard Brazil, still very drinkable, more on the bakers chocolate side with stronger spice and complimenting smokiness.

Haitian Premium – Singing Rooster – Baptiste Blue
Awesome cup this season, good from light to dark. Darker roasts which are more traditional for Haitian coffee, come off robust and strong with a floral islandy sweet edge and a smoky aftertaste. Bigger bodied and on the chocolaty spicy side of things. Being so clean this cup is great at light to medium roasts as well; hints of lemony floral, crisp, sweet with a more nutty/caramel tone. A little acidity but not enough to push folks away. A lovely daily drinking cup.

Uganda Org. Mbale – Mountain Harvest – Washed Processed
Great from light to dark. Has some exotic notes at lighter roast points, floral acidity and a soft fruit tone. More traditional African tastes from medium to dark, popping out a tea like chocolaty spice note. A super clean coffee from Uganda, none of that more earthy funk like so many others.
