Sweet Maria’s

The dry fragrance touches on brown sugar and vanilla bean smells, along with a nice dried apple note. There’s a clean sweetness in the coffee smells, and the wet aromatics show characteristics of raw brown sugar, and definitely some fruit, but hard to put my finger on exactly what. A honey to brown sugar sweetness is striking in the brewed coffee, and lays a stabilizing groundwork on which the rest of the profile rests. A marshmallow note accents the cup, along with green tea, and a flavor of apple and walnut that carries through to a clean aftertaste. Acidity is mild-to-moderate, but a tea-like cleanliness pulls the finish to a point. This coffee performed well for us at a wide range of roasts, and a great candidate for those who appreciate the roast toned bittersweetness that comes with 2nd snaps. Crisp, sweet, balanced, and clean, this is a coffee with staying power: meaning, yes, we’d drink it every day.

This came out incredibly well. To me it tastes like some kind of Christmas drink. Clean but with lots of interesting flavors. I taste nuts and vanilla. Also definitely some of the apple flavors. I hope other times I roast this it’s as good.
