Striking pink bourbon that tastes like a fruit punch. It's very tropical and floral with pink lemonade/Starburst, pineapple, and lychee notes. I think the tea note is between rooibos and green. Traditionalists may not love this one but it's very balanced and clean as well.Cupping Method:18:1, 92C on v60. I got this coffee from Bean Archives. Still excellent 2 months from roast date.

This was a blind tasting but the size of the beans (very big) made it fairly obvious this was the Pacamara, with Tanzania the logical origin. I had a similar coffee from Nomad a year ago, and it was reminiscent.
This one from Hex, who's been on my list to try, had a very silky mouthfeel, almost glycerine. I could have taken it be a Chiroso if the beans weren't so big. It has a strong tea character (I got black tea more than the roaster's note of red), and a bright citrus note, something like a satsuma or tangerine. I liked this coffee overall - it wasn't super complex or fireworks but very enjoyable to drink.Cupping Method:Leaderboard Coffee game, blind tasting (S15, coffee #3). Made with Hario v60, 18:1, 197F

This is a nice coffee with a honeyed mouthfeel. Very smooth, low complexity.
Slightly floral, lightly fruity. It reminds me a little bit of Ribena, a blackcurrant drink.Cupping Method:17:1, 94C on Hario v60. I got this coffee from Bean Archives.

Super tea like but heavy mouthfeel/body. White flower though not dominant, more jasmine but doesn't hit you over the head. A carefully treated coffee but probanly not what I would buy. It's balanced but no single fruity note jumps out. Maybe somewhere between red grape and black cherry. Sort of a gesha version of a lot of Bolivian coffee I've seen, smooth, nice mouthfeel but a bit short of a killer acidic note.Cupping Method:I got this from Bean Archives. 92C, 17.5:1 ratio in v60.
