African Specialty Coffee

Cupping Notes: This specialty coffee really excels in light to middle roasts. At light roast, the coffee is extremely fruity, almost like a fruit salad of flavors that can include red raspberry, strawberry, honeydew, mango, papaya, and orange. The flavors are very clean with a black tea like accent. Medium roasts will bring about a bittersweetness and additional fruit flavors that are a bit sour like blueberry, and plums. I don't recommend this coffee as an espresso or too dark of a roast profile. Fragrances that can be found while brewing include a very fruity complex of raspberry, strawberry, melon, fruit florals, and Earl Grey tea.  

Cupping Notes: This decaf is very versatile with flavors of bittersweet chocolate, stout beer, browned sugars, and cinnamon spice. Light and medium roasts have a spiced sweetness, bittersweet chocolates, brown sugars, with a tea like accent. Dark roasts bring out chocolate undertones with an enhanced body, with a syrupy texture. This coffee really excels as an espresso. Fragrances smelled during brewing hinted at honey, cinnamon toast, and hot cocoa. 

Cupping Notes: This is a very bright and clean coffee which includes a perfect acidity level. Light roasts are the brightest and include a juicy, fruity, and black tea complex. Fruit flavors that are strong include notes of pineapple, fresh peach, and a chai spice tea. Medium roasts have more body and brought out more of a dark berry taste that really lingers in the aftertaste. Dark roasts are also as fruity but with much more bittersweet flavors and hints of spiced plum. Fragrances that can be found while brewing include a sweetness of raw sugar, citrus, & dark tea.

This coffee can also be enjoyed as a dark roast. At this roast level, the coffee is still very fruity and may add notes such as pear and stewed peaches. The acidity is well rounded and at this level, the cocoa flavors come into play. Fragrances that can be found while brewing include a honey sweetness, dried fruits such as berries and floral notes. This is a very clean tasting and great coffee! It can also be enjoyed as a fruity espresso. 

Cupping Notes: This specialty coffee excels in light to middle roasts. The floral notes take center stage along with a balanced sweetness and hints of citrus.This coffee is light and bright, and simply great for pour over brewing. Dark roasts can be enjoyed but it loses plenty of it nuances when brought to that roast level. Fragrances that can be found while brewing include strong floral notes of jasmine, rose, & rue, along with a sweetness such as dark honey and simple syrup. 

Cupping Notes: Light roasts bring about a sugary sweetness and tart lemon hint. This is a very juicy and fruity cup. The fruit profiles exhibit flavors of grape, tangerine, grapefruit, and orange peel. The acidity is nice and balanced which helps underline the citrus notes. Medium to dark roasts excel and highlight grape and chocolate notes. While cooling, this coffee becomes berry dominant. Flavor profiles experienced while brewing include scents of orange juice, cloves, and red fruits, along with a lemon citrus highlight. 

Cupping Notes: Medium roasts are very light and fruity with accent notes of citrus, cane sugar, and berries. It kind of has a cranberry lemonade feel to it. Darker roasts bring about a different fruit flavor such as red grape, with the tartness and acidity turned down a notch. Both roasts offer a light, fruity, and clean cup of coffee. This is one of those types of coffee that you can really enjoy black with no added condiments! Fragrances that can be found while brewing include sweet spices, cooked sugars, and hints of pineapple. This is a very sweet coffee all around.
