    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

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Tanzania
Tanzanian specialty coffee is known for its bright acidity and fruity notes. Tanzania has high altitudes, such as the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, that allow for rich flavor development. Tanzania is known for its peaberry coffee, formed when one seed develops inside the coffee cherry instead of the usual two. Peaberry beans are prized for their intense flavor and, paired with Tanzanian's unique terrain, make for a specialty coffee drinker's dream.
Bean Source Region: Oldeani
