From Lee at Foundry Coffee Roasters:
"It’s ready!! – I know that some of you have been waiting a while for this coffee but I’m also sure that you’ll be glad that we put the time in to the profile to get everything just right. When the importer told us that this was even better than last years crop, I was a little sceptical. Last years crop was staggeringly good. This time we have a SCAE score of 90.5, which is very impressive for a natural.
Just like last time, you’ll find an abundance of strawberries and wild florals as soon as you grind the coffee and these flavours shine through however you approach brewing it. In espresso you have that natural funk but it presents itself in an unusually clean and sophisticated way. It’s exciting without being overpowering. The acidity is gentle, reminiscent of melon and oranges are making an appearance this time round. It’s clean but with a boozy, heady finish. It’s a little easier to extract this time so shouldn’t present the same level of challenge that the last crop did for some grinders.
In hand brewed you’ll still get huge fruits and florals; but it’s the way the complexity, the funk and the mouthfeel combine that make this coffee so drinkable."
