In my quest to learn more about the world of coffee I have been doing some very informative reading. I have learned that "cuppers" have trained palates and extremely developed nerve endings in their nostrils. Unfortunately, I have allergies that cause a somewhat constant stuffy nose. Nevertheless, I can smell aromas good enough to offer my most humble opinion. Join me on a journey (thanks to Danny) to experience coffee from around the world. Comments are welcome and encouraged. Here is to my dream of one day being a "cupper"!

Summary: This coffee is a "wow"! Definitely holds its own with a strong lasting taste on the palate. There are tones of smoke and spice. The room is filled with the aroma. It is decadent.

Nutty
Smooth
Dislikes:
Slight bitterness
Summary: This is a great morning coffee. It is very flavorful and rich with a nutty aftertaste. Even though the coffee looks like a dark roast it doesn't have the smokey dark roast flavor. I wouldn't serve this coffee with dessert, but would serve it with meals or alone. It is long on the palate.

Post di prova per i feeds
Scusate, poi casomai cancello, ma è da settembre che i feeds del mio blog non funzionano più. Adesso, dopo aver controllato e, spero, aver messo a posto, vorrei capire se funzionano, senza attendere il prossimo post.
Mi fate sapere se adesso le blogroll e feeds si aggiornano?
Grazie a tutti, anche a quelli che mi hanno avvisato del problema.
