Hello cuppers-
I am sad to report that I have lost the notes from the cupping last Friday. They were erased before I could write them all down (silly DCTC sprites are always pulling pranks).
I will give you all what I can remember…
First on the table was the delicious Finca Nueva Armenia. A wonderful coffee with a sweet orange-y brightness, a balanced “Snickers bar” flavor (chocolate, caramel, nuts) and a full body finishing clean and chocolate-y.
Then we had some yummy Shakissso. Great jasmine and perfumed fragrance with a strawberry-lemonade acidity. The flavor was nice and sweet with a thinner body and appropriately fruity aftertaste.
Finally, the Ndaroini. This coffee is replacing the Thunguri (also from Nyeri) and has more tropical fruit flavors and less of that ultra-savory tomato thing happening. I love em both so much so I can never choose my favorite, but I was really impressed by this years crop of the Ndaroini!
Tomorrow we cup! Be there!
Happy Thursday!
Alex
