Wow, what a different coffee blend. I ordered a pound of this pre-roasted
to see how it is supposed to taste and see the degree of roast that is
preferred for it. All I can say is that it floored me. I used a med-fine
grind in my Aeropress to make a strong base, then cut with water. This is
how I use the Aeropress most of the time, put enough grinds and water in for
an espresso style strength, then cut to taste for a regular cup of joe. I
love how much the taste changes from the initial hit in the front of the
mouth, to a completely different taste and feel going down the back of the
tongue and into the throat.
Again, all I can say is wow what a blend, definitely not your normal cup of
joe. I have blended a lot of different types of beans, from a mocha type
blends to others, and nothing has anything near this taste. Looks like a 5
lb order of green for Harvey will follow really soon. Will have to keep
most of this bag away from my son until Harvey finds my house. I can't wait
to try some of Tom's other Blends.
And just think, 6 months ago I thought the coffee beans from Barnies was
great. (Still love the DDC, Decadent Dark Chocolate though) |
