Tweed Coffee is a Dallas-based roaster associated with Houndstooth Coffee (locations in Austin and Dallas). I admit, I picked up this bag solely due to the name “Los Naranjos,” hoping that I would get some orange notes in the coffee (since the name was so close to “naranjas” – oranges).<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert:<\/em> I was wrong about the oranges, but the coffee made up for it!<\/p>\n

First impressions: the whole beans had a nice light aroma of caramelized sugar. After the extreme funk\u00a0of the Victrola Kenyan beans, this was a refreshing change.<\/p>\n

French press: My first thought when I sniffed the aroma coming out of the cup was “sticks!” It smelled a little wooden. It also carried over that caramelized sugar scent, and it was a bit tart on the finish. This was not a fruity or super juicy cup;\u00a0the dominant flavor seemed to be sugary wood.<\/p>\n

Chemex: A very faint scent of lilies greeted me as I went to take my first sip. It didn’t taste like flowers, though. Very clean cup, and I underlined the word SUGARY in my notes… quite sweet. Delicate and balanced. Again, not very fruity, but this didn’t bother me at all — I didn’t want to stop drinking this!<\/p>\n

AeroPress: What a change. This was an extremely juicy tasting cup with a rich body. The flavor was like black tea + pineapple juice.<\/p>\n

V60: Honestly, I didn’t taste much at all with this cup. It wasn’t unpleasant, but it wasn’t memorable… seemed pretty generic.<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> I think this coffee shines most in the Chemex (for the sugary notes), but it was good in the AeroPress too (for the fruity notes).<\/p>\n

From the roaster: Juicy, tropical fruit, brown sugar<\/p>\n
