Tasting Notes:

Great daily drinker from medium to dark roasts. Good body and lower acidity, nice and strong semi-sweet malty tones with a hint of spice in the aftertaste. At the light to medium roasts it will show just a pinch of crispness and a hint of earth, not super citric but will leave a dryness to the tongue, a bit floral in its aromatics but not in the cup. Just before to touching 2nd crack gets rid of almost all signs of any acidity and adds some complimenting smokiness to the cup profile. A very smooth cup from a medium roast to just before 2nd crack. Into 2nd crack will get some edgy strength that dark roast fans will like.

Roasting Notes:

Good from a medium roast to as dark as you want to go. Light roasts just do not develop those lovely malty tones enough. Not being an overly sweet cup, we think a quicker roasts helps retain a bit more crispness and balance to the cup qualities.
