Full Cupping Notes from Coffee Shrub
The complex aroma delivers smells of honey and rustic natural sugars, with notes of cooked fruits, caramel apple, and bittersweet core elements with deeper roasting. We enjoyed this coffee at both light and dark roast levels, pulling out fruit accented low tones, and thick, inky body. City/City+ brews show hints of dried orange slices and raisin that work their way through base flavors of molasses, sorghum syrup, and bittersweet cocoa. The cup was juicier than I expected, with a pleasantly bright golden plum note as it cooled. Middle roasts draw out more intense cocoa bittering that brought to mind roasted cacao nibs and high % dark cacao bar, and leads to a very long bittersweet aftertaste that also shows hints of whole spices. Fruited notes are pushed into the background more than the lighter levels, but still impact the cup. Accents of dried date, and fruit leathers are intertwined with core bittersweet flavors, bringing about profiles of chocolate covered dried fruit.
