Roasted to Full City, but the color of the bean is lighter than what I normally see at that range. Also on the lower end of how much chaff there was. The unroasted beans had a more herbaceous aroma than I would normally smell.
The dry fragrance does give a peek into the flavor, but it’s not as strong and specific as the coffee itself actually is in the cup. The wet aroma brings out the white grape, lime and a hint of mint leaf, which gives a better clue to the cup.
As far as taste, I started off with a pour over (Chemex) and it was a very light flavor as first, and then a pleasant sweetness crept in as it cooled off. White grape juice and a white sugar sweetness was there all the way through, but were a bit like a courteous neighbor. Not absent, but not close enough to come over for dinner. The big win with this method was the brewing aroma, which is not to be scoffed at. :)
The AeroPress (immersion) and Americano (espresso) methods were basically the same. The flavor was much more punchy from the get-go, and the citrus invited itself over for dinner. (Lol). It seemed a bit more like lime to me, but I can see how CBC would note it as tangerine. Since I like that aspect in my coffee, I was quite a fan.
Adding milk to this coffee was the only part that was not amazing. I won’t take a star away from this coffee for it, but the flavor just wasn’t able to shine through in a flat white. Granted, I rarely, if ever put cream in an auto-drip coffee or anything like that, so that may be a different story. In this case though, the flavor was pretty muted. The tartaric acid poked through a wee bit, and the sweetness snuck in a bit, but that’s it. (The neighbor who stares at you through the blinds, if you will?)
