 Dark, deep and chocolaty flavor with mild sweetness hidden.  Although the name of this beans stimulate curiosity, this cup is more than I expected.  As first experience of Bali coffee, inspire me the world, maybe mystery, of Bali coffee beans.


【Comment from Web】
In Bali, every single aspect of life connects to God.
Sinzan, cultivated in the island where God live, has well harmonized bitterness, sweetness and sourness, which made us thankful to God.  This coffee is characterized by Calamel like chocolate flavor followed by a sense of bitter sweet body

Blue Mountain #1

Beans: Blue Mountain #1
Roaster: Hiro coffee
Roasting Degree: Medium
Origin: Clydesdale, Jamaica
Altitude: 1,000m

Note
King of coffee from the heart of blue mountain.  Well balanced  aroma, body and acidity, milky, orange like acidity, milk chocolate like silky sweetness with nutty flavor.  

Clydesdale estate produces high quality Blue Mountain and the flavor comes out only when roster hears beans' talk.  Blue mountain is luxurious beans, sometimes too high priced to "try", unless we know a roaster well.
