Indonesian - Timor (Organic)

This has been a nice tasting coffee (it could be the coffee or is could be that I drank the Columbian House from the freezer for a week before I got around to roasting). I roasted these beans just seconds into the second crack which gave me a grind that smells faintly of cocoa. Even my 5 year old daughter commented how good it smelled.

This is an organic coffee which always leaves me skeptical but the coffee is surprisingly flavorful. It has a fruity note and as it cools there is a definite chocolate flavor that emerges.

I gave this coffee to friends as a gift and one of the recipients emailed me that they really loved the coffee. i suspect that it is the first time that they ever had a coffee that was roasted less than 24 hrs of its brewing and consumption.
