DESCRIPTION: Produced with premium beans with good physical preparation, and potential to express excellently once decaffeinated. During the water process, the green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that draw out the caffeine while minimizing the loss of flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed, the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the extract solution is filtered of its caffeine and recycled to be used again.
TASTING NOTES: A very nicely balanced chocolaty and nutty cup profile, a bit on the sweeter side. The taste is fuller bodied with a nice walnut chocolaty tone mixing with a smooth, sweeter, mellow finish. Pleasing hints of smoke and spice finish off this great Colombian coffee at darker roast points. Lighter roasts can show hints of floral, but all in al,l a lower acidity cup. Darker roasts convey wonderful smoky tones and outstanding sweetness, while medium roasts (with decaf, avoid lighter roasts) will deliver a crisper cup.
This Tanzania is grown down in the Southwest corner of the country bordering Zambia in the Mbeya region. Shilanga is the mill where they process the coffee, and Shinzingo is the name of the co-op of coffee farmers (roughly 200 farmers). They use the fully-washed process for all of their coffee.
This lot is their peaberry crop which they sorted out from their regular beans. This year's coffee was very impressive. When we roast it, we get a sweet, complex coffee that smells of strong fruit aromatics, and tastes fruity and full-bodied with a crisp acidity. Grapefruit with some lemon), wine-like, brown sugar, hint of melon, hint of peach, juicy green apple. This makes for a sweet and exotically aromatic french roast.
