Oak Lawn Coffee<\/a>\u00a0isn’t super close to my home (around 30 miles) but I count myself lucky that I’m in that part of Dallas often enough that when I feel like treating myself to beans from Heart Coffee Roasters<\/a>, I can just pop into the shop and grab a fresh bag. Heart is one of my top 3 favorite coffee companies so it always feels like a special occasion to have one of their offerings (and not having to pay for shipping is nice).<\/p>\n

Whole bean: Red apple, honey, and floral aromas. Fragrant.<\/p>\n

V60: This was a sweet cup that tasted of toffee and honey with a lovely aroma of honeysuckle and strawberries. Wow. This is why I love coffee from Heart so much – it’s multi-layered and interestingly complex!<\/p>\n

AeroPress: Tangy, lively brew, with a “deliciously, deliriously floral” scent (quote from my notes).<\/p>\n

Chemex: Floral and fruity – juicy strawberry was the main flavor. This was a fruitier cup for sure than the V60 cup, and a bit less sweet.<\/p>\n

French press: All I wrote here was “really flavorful” – I guess I wasn’t able to pick out any particular flavor here but it was a flavor bomb for sure.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong>: Another knockout from one of the most consistently pleasurable and excellent coffee roasters around. All the cups were good but my favorite was the Hario V60 cup by a mile.<\/p>\n

From the roaster: strawberry, marionberry, honey, lavender<\/p>\n

This coffee is not currently available on Heart’s website but their online store does have a link to their Kenya Gachuiro AA.<\/p>\n
