It’s always hard to come back from an amazing coffee. Most of the time I feel slightly disappointed by the following coffee, which really makes those few you hit that bring back your passion to full throttle all the more amazing. I’m really glad the Brazil Yellow Bourbon followed the Costa Rica Bourbon.

I’m starting to learn I really like dry coffees. Juicy coffees are nice, but there is something about a coffee finishing in your mouth with a nutty dryness that is pleasant to me. The Yellow Bourbon has this accompanied by a very almondy aroma. When roasted it filled the house with toasted graham cracker. When brewed it was more herbal with slight chocolate notes. Over all this was a very mild tasting coffee with a nice body. I kept the roast at a Full City+, but I imagine the acidity would be bearable at a City+ and might expose more of the coffee’s notes.
