Organic Bali Blue Moon Home Roast Thoughts




  • The first time I had Bali Blue Moon was from Buddy Brew Coffee. I don’t know what about this coffee that struck me. Maybe it was the name or the notes that they described in the coffee, but it was a coffee I wanted to enjoy again.

    I decided that I wanted to find some good Bali Blue Moon to roast up for myself. After finding some online, I waited for it to arrive.

    I was excited to roast it. After some debate, I ended up roasting this to a Full City Roast. When the beans came out of the Behmor, they were a nice brown color, and had quite a bit of oil on them. I wouldn’t call this a dark roast, but I was starting to worry that I may have roasted them a little too long.

    When I finally brewed some of it up, I noticed an earthiness coming from the kitchen. I wasn’t sure if this was going to be as good as what Buddy Brew Coffee offers, but I couldn’t let my opinions decide just yet.

    The aroma carries a pleasing earthiness. Behind the earthy note lies a chocolaty aroma. I was waiting to see when the chocolate note would appear, and was glad it did.

    The coffee had cooled enough for me to take a nice big sip. A chocolate note covered my tongue, and some earthiness mixed right in. I even taste a bit of a smokiness play that lingers on my tongue for a moment.

    Overall, this coffee is very good, but I was hoping to get more notes out of it than I did. I might have to try roasting some more of this, and tone down the roasting to a minute or so less.

    What I like about Bali Blue Moon is the wide range of roast it can take along with the flavor plays that come with the range of roast. All my customers who prefer this coffee like it in City to full city plus and one loves it at almost catching fire. Me ? I like alot of my coffees at the city plus so I can get the taste of the beans charactoristic and some of the roast flavor. Excuse my spelling. This is a popular cup of my customers and all of them say they love this coffee but the cant place why. I think I’m rambling.
