Tasting Notes: A good everyday drinker. Medium bodied, low acidity, rich and clean. Predominately down the chocolaty alley with a little floral upfront but at a full city roast picks up a bit of chary caramel in cup; very tasty. Darker roasts lose some of the sweeter more delicate tones and get pretty edgy and smoky. Very light roasts get a little herbal and grassy. Anywhere from a shade past first crack to a couple pops into second crack is wonderful.
Roasting Notes: Avoid the extreme roasts points with this cup, super light or super dark the cup does not hold up well. Anywhere in the middle will be a tasty treat. A couple day setup is necessary to bring forth the subtle complexities; if drank too soon the stronger chocolaty factor or non-settled acidity will cover up some cool tones.
