A lightly fruited sweetness (golden raisin in the light roast) is the primary attribute in the dry fragrance, with milk chocolate appearing as the roast level nears Full City. The wet aroma is dominated by fruits as well, but there is a neat, toasty malt-o-meal hot cereal scent in the light roast, somewhat buttery too. Darker roasts had a bittering element that, overlayed on the fruit, didn't work so well: I preferred a light City roast here.

Please note that we have a very small amount of this coffee, so we expect it to sell out quickly. We are selling it in original vacuum packed bricks from origin, so the size is a bit on the large side. But it is better to offer them intact rather than break them up!

Chris Schooley adds: I definitely got the sweet maltiness on the break. The fruit and tomato (more of sweet tomato sauce) brightness really stands out at first and while there is a big roundness to the body, it is clear and open inside. As the coffee cools, the body develops a refined creaminess that gives some more presence and support to the brightness but also helps promote the sweet malts in the finish. I also picked up a nice violet floral counterpoint to the fruited notes.
