Timor Leste Honey Process Daurfusu

Grinding the coffee, my City+ roast showed a fragrance lightly sweetened with honey, and rustic sugar notes, with a pleasant cocoa hint, like milk chocolate. Sweetness is much more intense in the wet aroma, raw honey notes interspersed with mild cooked fruit hints in the nose. At City roast level, fruited hints accented a very nice flavor profile of honey-sweetened tea. This year's coffee has a simple, refined quality to it. I'd call it "quiet" in some ways, though it's more expressive than your standard wet process lot. Accent notes touched on dried apricot, and golden dates, and there's a very pleasant bittersweet aspect in the aftertaste that brought to mind the sharp qualities of cocoa, matcha powder, and tannic black tea. Big body is another notable quality, even in the light roasts. Honey processing often leads to big body, and this coffee was juicy in texture and mouthfeel.
