Today I decided to cup at an earlier time (9am). Actually, i couldn’t wait. You see, i roasted a bunch of coffee samples on friday, and my curiosity of their flavors is what cornered me into cupping them right when i walked in the door this morning( coffee roasters=weird people).

So to the matter at hand, the coffees:
1.El Salvador- Matalapa Estate
2.El Salvador- Siberia Estate
3.Flores-Bajawa #1
4.Flores-Bajawa #2
5.Flores-Nguva

WOW! What a great way to start off the day! Some amazing cups.
The Breakdown:
Matalapa Estate- Great clarity, amazingly sweet & crisp. Mild citrus, soft & well balanced.
Siberia Estate- An amazing example of an El Salvador burbon, Rich sweetness, Deep character, clove spices and soft brightness.
Flores #1 & 2- These came out great! Thick & viscus. All heavies here, low acidity and great nuanced complexities. Loads of nutty flavors, cashews and macadamia with a nice simple syrupy coating.

I find it best to cup coffees until they are at least 7 days off roast. Coffees tend to “open up” their flavors as they age. It was an amazing first session with theses coffees & im exited to see what they become.
