Mysore - Nugget (Extra Bold) - 2

India

I roasted these beans to a light City roast - removed from the flame just before the First Crack ended. The beans and the ground smelled exquisite. When brewed this bean releases an aroma that fills the house with anticipation of the first cup.

The Mysore has a definite earthy flavor which suggests a nut tone in its effect. Although it is a very complex taste which some suggest has a chocolate note and spice sensation as well. The flavor was certainly more describable at a lighter roast.

The body was full and rich which assists the buttery flavor that is present. I used 1.75oz of ground to make a 8-cup pot. It was a very good cup and I highly suggest it to all who seek a very good cup of coffee.

This is a very fine bean from India and I am looking forward to more experiences from that part of the world in the not too distant future.
