High Mountain

Beans: High Mountain 
Roaster: Swing's Coffee
Roasting Degree: City
Blends(?): Guatemala, El Salvador, Sumatra

【Impression】
Light mellow body, jasmine like flowery aroma with orange, sweetness of raw almonds & macadamia nuts, non refined beet sugar, sheer bitterness of dark chocolate, layer of sweetness adding depth in body, juicy maple syrup like sweetness as a long lasting aftertaste ending with a tip of lemony refreshing acidity.   

【Note】
"Stop by at Swing's", recommended a friend of mine.
Located in Washington D.C., Swing's coffee has been Washingtonians local coffee house.
Unfortunately, "the very first visit" of swing's has stayed out of reach; but here is a bag of their beans available at Wholefoods in Baltimore.  Knowing this does not represent "Swing's coffee" enough, I grabbed a bag.  According to Swing's web, "High Mountain is the coffee that Washingtonians stand in line for at Swing's on G Street."  I am looking forward having "the day" to stop by 1702 G Street N.W to taste how this changes.
