This Yunnan series is really giving Chineee coffee a chance to shine! Sweet early on, with an almost Lapsang like smokiness as it cooled down! More great stuff from @doeandfawncoffee Trying Zambian coffee ... This Sidra from @wilderlazocoffee roasted by @skylark.coffee has been such a standout coffee for me! First off the aroma is amazing, the smell of berries hits you immediately. As well as being one of the sweetests coffees I've had in a long time, followed up with a bright acidic aftertaste! Can't recommend this one enough! Apologies for being MIA of late, we're getting back to our regularly scheduled content with another blog post! Java's are very quickly becoming one of my favourite treats, this was no exception! I didn't know what to expect with a tasting note like "Nasturium" but it really balanced out the juicy acidity. Would 100% recommend! The link is in the bio, please let me know some of the myths you've heard or believed, and maybe you'll be featured in the next edition! #coffeegram #acaseforcoffee #coffee #explore #v60life #coffeeblog In today's post we're reliving a wonderful cupping sessions last week hosted by @skylark.coffee highlighting @bettebuna's work, at @commonsldn A little late but what a great event with @skylark.coffee and @bettebuna, good coffee, and better people 👌🏻 Continuing our week of @taithcoffee goodies, we have anaerobic natural from Sumatra! This was a surprising one, not as sweet as I thought it'd be but enough to slip through as it cools, while having a fairly light feel. Sumantran coffee continues to intrigue!
