Honduras
When the first rays of sunlight caress your face and you smell nature before any deer have awoke to take the day's first drink from the lake - you will only then most intimately know this coffee. It's aroma can only be described by feeling and its flavor can only be realized with the methodical rhythm of Argent's Hold Your Head Up. This is a coffee that demands to be experienced and begs to be beheld.
I sure wish I sold this stuff so that you too could experience the very best of God's glorious creation.

Harar Horse - 2
Ethiopia
I roasted the Horse to Full-City+ this time and although I enjoyed it I did not pick up on some of the nuanced attributes. I noted a spiciness last time that I did not seem to notice this time around. The only reason for this is the darker roast.
However, when I poured this coffee over ice it was again very enjoyable as the chocolate shined. Because of this I think the best of both worlds is gained with a lighter roast.

Harar - Horse
Ethiopia
I chose this forth coffee simply because of the name "Horse". Whatever it means in the Ethiopian tongue I wanted to see if it tasted like dog food. ;)
This coffee has grown on me as I found it to not have any attribute that leaps out - This indicates that it is a very well balanced coffee. As I worked through a couple of cups I learned that it had a slight spiciness and fruitiness in the initial stage which quickly diminishes into a smoothness that becomes nondescript.
This was a City Roast which sported a wonderful aroma in the ground bean itself but I found the aroma of the brew to be lacking and almost raw in nature. Because of this I am going to try a Full-City Roast and see if the beginning stages of carbonization unlocks some hidden flavors and aroma.
This coffee, roasted City, grew on me. After about 4 cups I found that there was a lingering quality about it. The body did not seem anything special but now I am wondering if it was an attribute of the body that is lingering. This lingering certainly suggest a complexity that I have yet noticed in any of the other coffees. I am eagerly expecting to try this cup again.
From 1 to 10 I rate this coffee a 5.
