When you open the bag, you're just smashed by the stunning aroma of watermelon jolly ranchers and lychee. I've done it for a bunch of friends and family members and they've blown away.
The coffee itself - when hot, it's still quite fruity, watermelon, then a hint of rooibos. It's a bit floral tool. It cools to a chuggable raspberry peach iced tea. Some hints of pineapple and guava.
So so good.Cupping Method:3x pourover, 18:1, 196F. This coffee was part of Leaderboard, and I scored all 9 points guessing that it was a Colombian co-ferment since that's where most of this experimental type processing is coming out of.

Wow, this is the most uniquely flavored coffee I've sampled! It is a bit hard to tease out from a single cup, but the flavors were distinctly melon-centric. I feel like I could taste ALL the melons at once-- watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew, balanced out with an underlying earthiness. The earthy/floral/melon aroma that accompanied the cup was an additional unique surprise. I imagine that a flavor profile this unique could be quite divisive, but I liked it. Less remarkably, there was a nice, sweet acidity and a rich mouthfeel.Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip, cream with no sweetener
