MEDIUM ROAST - 12 OUNCE WHOLE BEAN
Notes of White Grape, Vanilla, and Floral Blossom
Competition Grade Coffee
Delicate hints of white grape complement the velvety smooth mouth feel and bright floral notes of this unique Indonesian coffee. The caramelization of sugars during key points of this roast yield a sweet vanilla like taste with a intoxicating floral finish.

The semi-washed processing of this coffee involves a fermentation period of 8 hours following de-pulping. After this, the coffee is dried until it reaches a moisture content of 40% before being collected by Arinagata collectors. At the cooperative’s warehouse, the coffee is hulled and further dried until it reaches 12.5% moisture content.
I saw this at Sprouts and took a chance….wow! Amazing espresso. I love it.
I got it on a social nature deal, it was spectacular! Very sweet.
I find this coffee to be a very likable everyday coffee. Not at all oily, with nice subtle brightness. I enjoy it with or without cream, iced or hot. I believe it is my favorite Heirloom roast overall. Pacayal Honey Lot is probably my second favorite, and it's a very close second!
