Sweet Maria’s

The ground coffee has a clean scent of brown sugar and hazelnut, sort of a butter/shortbread cookie smell. The addition of hot water pulls out sugar browning sweetness, toffee nut smells, candied roasted almonds. Light roasts have soft lemon acidity that’s really a nice feature, a mellow tartness that emerges amidst unrefined sugar and raw nut flavors like Brazil nut and hazelnut. It adds a mouth cleansing affect in the finish too, which lends to the perception of a clean finish. My roast that was just shy of Full City developed a tasty milk chocolate flavor, the cooled cup showing a muted raisin note too, like chocolate covered raisin. A clean and mild Peruvian cup.
