A Cupping Session

Ok, so far these are the profiles we discovered and enjoyed, described as best as we can put it for each coffee (we went through four):

The Brazil Mogiana:  heavy bodied and thick, cinnamon in the aroma, lime and pulpy fruit on the tongue with a powdery, full aftertaste.  not too sweet or winey, but well balanced all the same.   Nathan's fav!

The Java Sunda Candra Wulan:  light-bodied, bright and dynamic with toasted macadamia nut hinted in the aroma, salty and tangy on the tongue, overall a very vibrant and intriguing cup.

The Burundi Kirimirroo Teka:  dark chocolate notes in the aroma, medium bodied, honey, almond and milk chocolate in the aftertaste.

The Burundi Yandaro: vanilla and butterscotch hinted in the aroma, lighter bodied than the first Burundi, really mellow with definite dark chocolate notes.

Wow- what a refreshing two hours.  It really flew right by!  Its so therapeutic to sit and sip and think about what your senses are experiencing.   Thanks Noah, Dan, and Nathan for joining in on this.  Hope you had as much fun as I did!
