Green Bean Selection July 2010 - Bulk Coffee Purchase - 2 KG

Honduras. The Marcala region has the advantage of an ideal climate to grow, process and dry coffee really well nutty tones in the lighter roasts, and crisp cup character. The fragrance from the dry grounds and wet aroma are similar, and give a good sense of the cup flavours. The fragrance has an overall dry-roasted peanut tone, and a cocoa powder scent. In the wet aromatics, there is toasted coconut, almond, and a touch of tamarind fruit and caramel-molasses. The cup is mild, but has crisp, bracing bitter sweetness from light chocolate and nutty flavours. There is a buttery quality to the mouth feel, the body registers as middling, not that light, nor that thick. There is a malted milk ball sweetness in the mid-palate turning to bittersweet in the aftertaste. It's a little drying in the finish, with almond skin flavour.
