Comment:
The freshness of the current crop is obviously reflected in the cup due to slightly greenish and cereal / popcorn like tendencies. However, the overall profise is dominated by the typical nuttiness and chocolate notes and free of any off cups. Along with further accurate storaging of the green coffee the slight dryness and greenish dash will disappear. The overall profile is balanced and refined.
Final product recommendation:
– As a basis and balance providing component in a filter blend
– Suitable as a medium to dark roasted component providing chocolate and caramel notes in an Espresso blend when using at least 40%.
