Based on another thread, I was asked to repost an interesting croudsource of information on the coffee we buy:

Make your replies fit the following format;

  • Location: at least your country, not the beans.
  • Retailer: Were did you buy your beans?online, brick and mortar. Be specific.
  • Beans: If a blend, name the brand and type. If single origin, give the detes, i.e. country of origin, region, farm, processing method, elevation
  • Roast: Light, medium, dark, french ...
  • Advertized tasting notes: e.g. stone fruit, sweet, balanced acidity.
  • Your tasting notes: Do you agree with the advertized cupping notes? Why?
  • Price per unit: e.g. $/lb or £/kg etc...

With any luck we might discover hidden gems, or discover a new favourite or maybe a bargain.

Location: Spain
Retailer: Mundo Novo Coffee, online shop
Beans: Mutmabu Hill, Burundi. Red Bourbon, 1800m, washed
Roast: Medium
Advertised tasting notes: plum, dark sugar, cola, touch of citrus
Your tasting notes: Fairly accurate. It's a sweet, earthy coffee, with just enough acidity to brighten it up.
Price per unit: 12€/250g

Trying out regular offer from a new roaster I discovered through James Hoffman's fermentation project tasting.

Very good, especially for something that falls under the simple, no fancy varieties or processing, bucket.
