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.

Roast Notes

Super cold and windy while roasting. Used bread maker lid to keep the heat in, but clearly that didn’t totally cancel out the cold.
