At last I really get what a funky coffee is...
The beans in their green state look hideous, large, deformed and really doesn't bode well. Being told by a Roaster thatthey freaked him out when roasting only added to my apprehension.
Well I thought I heard forst pop that went straight into 2C...yup, freaked me out too!
Hasbean says this bean is a nightmare...well Steve you ain't wrong!
But in the cup it is more than worth the stress. Really big up front fruity zest that smacks the tounge like a bolt of electricity. Really vibrant, almost citrusy follow through. Floral too.
Oh and very Funky.
WOuld I reccomend roasting it...no...thats why I am going to lock the greens away until my nerves have calmed a bit.
Is it a great coffee?
Yup.
