Kangocho "Lilo Coffee Kissa" Natural Dark SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, & Batian

Description

Josh’s notes:Easy to recommend for dark roast fiends/friends. This coffee is also easy to write copy for, which is always a win for me.A darker impression on bag open. You immediately notice that these are dark roasted beans. They are beautiful to look at. There’ s the smell of dark chocolate covered fruits on grind. Heavy degassing on bloom. Truly, smells like coffee out of a kissaten. A good one. Dark and rich. As the brew goes on, it actually reveals some clear fruitiness of black currant and blackberry. The currant especially has a special place on the flavor profile. I’d call it “bursty”- especially as the brew cools.I wrote “wow” at least 3 times in my notes on this one. Super dark but manages to remain sweet and fruity. Obviously roasted with care with a certain somebody in mind. A smoker probably. Somebody cool. Are you cool?Lilo’s notes:“Spreading black currant, blackberry flavorBody and sweetness of dark chocolate and cacaoThe sweetness of dense molasses continues gradually”Roast:Roasted dark and spectacularly by our friends at Lilo Coffee Roasters in Osaka, Japan, rested for 7 days, then vacuum packed and frozen. I recommend enjoying this coffee right away.NOTE: Due to the dark roasted nature of these beans and associated aggressive off-gassing, vacuum bags may arrive slightly puffy after thawing.
