Kobe Blend from Coffee Roasters Asia

Image
Kobe Blend Full of Sweet Brown Sugar Flavor TASTING NOTES Overall: Very rich aroma of brown sugar/ caramel, you will notice it immediately Acidity:  just a pinch of acidity Body: Light to medium (more close to light body) Flavor: Caramel, brown sugar (Note: not much vanilla and tangerine described on their website) MY THOUGHTS I wouldn't necessarily describe it very smooth for its rather bright note but it is still enjoyable. If you dig a very sweet aroma, this one is for you. Little dash of milk would be good as it has a bit of lingering bitterness at the end of each sip. It's not like overpowering bitter taste that would ruin your cup. Lastly, beans are pretty hard for a hand grinder.  BACKGROUND Medium Roast whole beans (200g bag) Blend origins: Brazil, Ethiopia and others Hand ground by Hario Mini Mill Water Temp- 90°C (194°F) Kalita Wave Glass Dripper Ratio - 12g beans : 240g water

My experience with Coffee Roasters Asia

Locally Roasted Whole Bean Coffee Ready in 2 Days INTRO  Started in 2014, Coffee Roasters Asia is a Hong Kong based specialty coffee roaster which a sister company to Coffee Roasters Australia based in Gold Coast, Australia.  MY THOUGHTS I recommend Coffee Roaster Asia for quality beans and great service. Ordering was breezy. Delivery was fast and coffee was very fresh.  COFFEE QUALITY I found the beans very fresh. Coffee Roaster Asia dispatches the beans no less than 3 days after roasting in my case. Each bag is labelled with a date. When brewing coffee, a nice blooming is clearly visible. ORDERING The web site has a online chat for queries. Surprisingly, the representatives were available each time I tried for a quick question. Once you place an order, you will receive a confirmation email first and order order update notice when shipping out. SHIPPING & HANDLING The package is robust and professionally prepared. Delive...

Indonesia Gayo Mountain Coffee  from Coffee Roaster Asia  TASTING NOTES Overall: Very sweet aroma Acidity: Light to medium (more lean toward light side) and it's a very pleasant note even for those who won't like an acidic taste Body: Light ( the store website describes it as Syrupy full body, though) Flavor: Caramel, cinnamon and vanilla MY THOUGHTS I recommend to those who typically drink full body dark roasting but want a safe choice to try lighter roasting beans.
