Tasting Notes:
Crisp, clean and rich, a stellar batch of Tanz coffee. A bit higher acidity at the lighter roasts but comes off very balanced in the cup tones. Citric lemony brightness with a little hint of soft fruit notes balancing with a complex chocolaty undertone with just the right amount of classic herbal African spice. Light roasts although tasty and clean, are much more extreme with the acidity and herbal spice notes. A strong medium roasts mellows greatly into a more chocolaty profile with still plenty jazzy notes, hints of caramel at a nice medium roast. This cup, similarly to a nice Kenya, has an incredible depth of flavor. Dark roasts turn much more traditional with some smoky bakers chocolate tones.
Roasting Notes:
We like this coffee best at a medium roast. Great balance, not to extreme in any of its tones and a cup everyone will love. Lighter or darker will be good to experiment with but will depend on personal taste preference. Be in for a tasty treat. Try extending the roast at the light to medium roast points to build a little more body and undertones.
