Roasters pack advent. Tasted blind. Small dark beans with mixed size. I get the blueberry and lavender, I think it has an unpleasant smoke/grapefruit zest overtone. The good notes are still there which keeps this from being a total wash for me.
I thought this was a coffee with interesting structure and flavor components and it was one of my 2 or 3 favorite out of the 10 from Leaderboard Coffee Season 12. This was very balanced and smooth. I got light pomelo/lemon/tangerine with black tea, and a hit of cocoa mid-palate. I don't know if it was a strong 5 as I wrote 4.5/5 but it's been a month since I had to coffee waiting for the reveal, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt.
I wrote down 4.5 in our Leaderboard notebook but no details so see Teds.
