Cupping Method:Pourover at Blue Bottle store in Chestnut Hill, MA
A long long time ago, I was a bit Blue Bottle fan. If I ever had chance, I'd try to get some pourover. But then as they scale I felt the quality diminished. It's only over the past 6 months that I've revisted and felt like the quality was better. Yesterday my carbonic maceration Rwanda was great. A hard one to stop drinking. It was interesting but not that easy to drink when hot, with a strong rose and red wine character and a bit hoppy. When cool the real character came out. Very fruity with pineapple, pomegranate, lemon. Could have used one more note in there to balance it out but I thought this was quite good. I realized this review sounded a bit like American Pie, so I asked AI to make it into a full-fledged American Pie coffee review. Sorry, it's awful. A long, long time ago, I can still remember how that coffee used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, Id seek that Blue Bottle stance, and maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then they grew, the flavor flew, a bitter brew that left me blue. Yet something touched me deep inside, the day the quality died. So bye-bye to the bitter coffee lie, drove my taste back to that Blue Bottle supply, And them good beans were bringin' me back alive. Singing yesterday my Rwanda was a prize, Carbonic maceration under open skies, With flavors bold that rose up high, and I was captivated by. It started hot with hops and rose, a red wine vibe that splendidly shows, But wait for it to cool down low, for the true character to gloriously flow. Fruity waves of pineapple, pomegranate, lemon zest, oh how they bestow, A symphony missing just one note to balance the show. I was singing, this here cup's my last refrain, Ill cherish each sip, in sunshine or in rain. And I was singing, yeah, this is something I'd retain, Blue Bottles back, quality regained.
Definitely strawberry and roses! Earl grey finish. Maybe a bit too floral actually, a note of bright acidity would been perfect at the end of this. A nice cup overall!
Smooth, consistent, chocolatey. Except when very busy.
