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.

You've not been to Steve's roastery before, have you Tripto?
Steve is one of the most focused and attentive roasters I know....
Until the phone rings :lol:
Actually he'd sell (ie successfully roast) much more if his customer service was sh*t, as he'd then actually be concentrating on what he is meant to be doing, rather than spending all his time helping others :wink:
Seem to remember cupping this at HB. Really great coffee for this time of year, must order some more.

I've found it a nightmare to roast on the Behmor also.

Fools rush in etc...

It was especially interesting in the Whirleypop. Still tastes great for a mutant bean...
