Sulawesi

Kalossi

I just roasted the very last of my Sulawesi. What I discovered was that I like this bean roasted to just into the Second Crack. I have been roasting it very dark as I prefer a French Roasted coffee but this bean seems to exhibit a flavor not noticeable when dark roasted.

When roasted just into the Second Crack this coffee smells rich when ground and its flavor possess a hint of sweet-wine flavor. Have fun with your own roasting experiences and let me know how they turn out.

Sulawesi

Kalossi

This coffee is not the Backwoods Chocolate Smothered dessert at the end of the meal it is more like the wake-up at the crack of dawn and watch the sun rise over the lake while the camp fire brews your first cup of morning glory. It does not make you glad for taste buds but rather this coffee roasted to a very dark French Roast wipes the cobwebs away and makes you aware that God did a good thing when he created them in the first place.

If you roast you own beans, this is a bean well worth getting. If you don't then all I can say is that I am very sorry for you.

I sure am sad that I am not in the business of selling coffee.

Sulawesi

Kalossi

The taste of the this Sulawesi is unique in a peaberry-ish sort of way. Its dominant attributes are its remarkable, almost chocolate, aroma and its Spicy note which makes it flavor akin to the peaberry.

The raw beans were a darker green - indicating a higher moisture content. They roasted to a very nice Full City without creating much chaff. The smell from the roasting process lingered quite a long time (in comparison to other beans) which made the house quite pleasant.

I am going to like the rest of these beans for sure.
