Barista Bitch Dialing In

Blind tasting. Very herbal with a silky mouthfeel an a predominantly chocolate note. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Blind tasting. Subtle coconut front with a chocolate finish. I do not taste a lot of coconut in coffees and this was a novel experience. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Blind tasting. Very berry forward with some minor floral noes and slight sweetness. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Bind tastng cofee. Strong black  tea notes followed by a cinnamon finish. I do not know how I feel about this coffee at the end of the day. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Blind tasting coffee. Strong clove taste (that ultimately ruined this coffee for me) with soft floral notes and some orange sweetness. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Blind tasting coffee again. This is certainly a juicy coffee with some crisp thyme notes and a strong tomato taste. It was like drinking thin tomato soup in coffee form and I loved it. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Blind tasting coffee. Strong toasted nutty flavor maybe a lighter walnut or hazlenut, with some lemon notes and brown sugar sweetness. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Another blind coffee tasting. This was super spicy, a lot of hard to pin down floral aromas (maybe magnolia), predominatly grapefruit noteswith a molases sweetness. I loved this coffee, but I certainly do not want to drink more of it. I die for floral notes and tartness together. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

I should note my process for these coffees. I am using 28g of coffee and 400g hot water, while I am not necesarilly aiming for any particular time, I am finishing on average somewhere between three and a half minutes and five. This was very delicate with a some cranberry-like tartness on the front with a chocolate finish, it had a nice thick mouthfeel. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Once again another blind coffee tasting, at this point I am starting to realize the flaws of this expriment. I wish I was not told the origins of these coffees, but at this point there is no point in changing the nature of it. I do not know if my friend plans on telling me who roasted these various coffees. This was kind of a boring coffee, there was tons of milk chocolate notes, a little honeyed sweetness and dried fruit. It was a very easy coffee to drink that is easy to enjoy, but not life changing. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

Again this is another coffee that I do not know who roasted or even when it was roasted, I am assuming it is fresh, but it could be a couple weeks old for all I know. This was a super floral coffee, very reminiscent of that sickly sweet honeysuckle scent with some overpowering clove notes and a bit of dried apricots. I did not enjoy this coffee I am not a fan of coffees with strong spice notes, but it was interesting and not exactly and unpleasant experience. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

This is my second coffee that my friend provided for me. This is an extrodinarily sweet coffee with tons of floral notes that taste a little like orange blossom water crossed with fresh hibiscus with a lot of dark stone fruit notes. I brewed this in a kalita wave using notneutral filters witha BUNN G2 Trifecta SLVA.

A friend of mine has accused me of judging certain coffees too harshly because I am in her eloquent words, "a brand whore who likes pretty packaging" so she has kindly offered to give me coffee from different roasters to try that she repackaged in blank packaging. I do not know if she did not tell me before hand that I would have guessed it was decaf, but it has a nice lemon acidity maybe a little too on the tart side balanced with a mild milk chocolate note. I thought it was mediocre to be honest, I am not the biggest fan of citrus and chocolate tasting coffee, while easy to drink I often feel very bored with them.
