Brazil Fazenda IP SWP Decaf
Cupping Notes
(Credit Sweet Maria's)
The dry fragrance had sweet malty notes, accented by roasted almond and a mild molasses hint. Full City roasts had convincing chocolate smells, and some chocolate sesame. The wet aroma was a tad sweeter, and showed a sweet-savory mix of caramel and nut reminiscent of the origin. In fact, this lot from IP Farm is a very nice analog to our regular Brazilian coffees. That is to say, it offers a pleasant interplay of sweetness and creamy nut, with roast tones backing things up. Flavor accents hint at toffee peanut and almond folded into a sweet layer of caramel and dark cocoa. The finish had cocoa powder, and an herbal Root Beer hint.
