When Slightly Coffee’s head roaster, Joe (yes, that really is his name! How appropriate, right?), sent me the sample of his excellent\u00a0Ethiopia Torea Village<\/a>, he also included a small bag of this Guatemala Chochajau. It was a bit too small of a quantity for me to do a full battery of tests in my usual brewing methods (Hario V60, AeroPress, Chemex, French press) so I opted to skip the Chemex and to just try the coffee in the other three methods.<\/p>\n

Whole bean: There was just the barest hint of oil on these lovely medium-roast beans. The beans smelled nutty with a hint of cocoa. I was reminded of Nutella.<\/p>\n

French press: Tangy, rich, delicious cup that had a great balance of tangerine complexity and milk chocolate sweetness.<\/p>\n

AeroPress: A really sweet, thick, fudgy cup of coffee. Decadent!<\/p>\n

V60: A much more mild cup than the other methods. Clean, light-bodied brew that tasted of semi-sweet chocolate with walnut on the finish.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong>: This is a really pleasing Guatemalan coffee that should appeal to just about everybody! The rich sweetness of nutty chocolate with the hint of complexity and brightness from the tangerine really tastes great straight out of the French press. However, if citrus isn’t really your thing (but chocolate and nuts are), try this coffee in one of the other brewing methods.<\/p>\n

From the roaster: Flowers and spice, everything nice<\/p>\n
