I haven't really been sure whether to classify Ogawa as a large chain/brain or not. In any case, this Guatemalan helped my opinion of them.
It's quite good, with a very smooth mouthfeel, clean strawberry, sweet orange, and oolong notes. A touch of milk chocolate.
A bit pricy at $10 for the pourover, but it's downtown Boston.Cupping Method:Pourover, Ogawa @ Downtown Crossing Boston

A perfect blanket-like crema. Exceptional mouthfeel with earthy tones, blackberry acidity, and balanced smoke. Rich chocolate depth. Medium complexity. Very satisfying on a cold, grey day.Cupping Method:At Ogawa store in Boston.

Reminds me a bit of a Blue Bottle Tokyo Kissa blend that I had last year. I'm grading this based on my understanding of this style of Japanese dark roast blend rather than my usual preference.
This is an very good blend with a wonderful balance of smoke, a slight creaminess, light nuttiness, and balanced acidity that makes it pleasantly bitter. Kudos to Ogawa here for being willing to do this as iced Aeropress, as I think that's an optimal use for it.
