Review: Sweet Yellow Brazil From The Coffee Couple
The CoffeeBeans: Sweet Yellow Brazil
Roaster: The Coffee CoupleEquipment/Brewing Method
Brew Method: Clever Dripper
Grinder/Grind Size: Baratza Virtuoso Preciso – Dial 22
Bean/Water Ratio: 22/350g 1:30 steep / 1min dropNotes:
Heavy chocolate takes the lead with spice and a hint of smokiness trailing behind. Taking in the aroma a little more, a fruit play starts to emerge reminding me of fruity pebbles.A heavy chocolate coats your tongue upon first sip. It’s a heavy bodied coffee with chocolate, a side of spice, and a light lingering smoky play. A few more sips in and the chocolate and spice play seem to merge together creating a pleasing experience.
Verdict:
When I opened the bag I saw slight speckles of oil on the beans which concerned me just a little. Overall, the beans looked like a medium roast and carried a seemingly even color which surprised me as PAN roasting (skillet coffee roasting) usually carries some unevenness with the beans.I was surprised again by the taste which carried a heavy body and an intensity of spice, smokiness, and a chocolate play, but overall loved this coffee nonetheless.
Score:
