Cupping Method:Cold brew can for Whole Foods
This is my second shot with Nguyen Coffee Supply, after not especially liking their Moxy Blend. I bought a can of their Classic Black Cold Brew at Whole Foods last week to give them another tried. Nguyen Coffee Supply, is an Vietnamese-American brand and I want to support. The verdict, it's not for me. This cold brew had pronounced rubbery notes, reminiscent of the criticisms often thrown at Robusta beans. The taste profile leaned heavily towards a burned flavor, and while I wouldn't describe it as harsh, it left an aftertaste reminiscent of cigarette ash. A dark roast cold brew often carries a depth of flavor, but in this case, it felt overpowering. This was a first for someone who rarely leaves a cold brew unfinished. But it's essential to remember that taste is subjective. What might be overpowering for one could be just right for another.
This tasted watery, like I needed twice the amount of beans I normally use. Maybe I needed to try a different brew style.
The flavor was relatively weak, leaving me wondering if I brewed it correctly. The coffee was balanced, dry, and not acidic, but I prefer a stronger flavor.
