Sumatra Dry Process Kerinci Cooperative

This Sumatra brews a unique cup profile of syrupy fruit flavors indicative of the dry process method, as well as earth-toned, pungent accents we tend to associate to Sumatran coffee. The dry fragrance and aroma had a sweetness of palm sugar, with intense fruits and bittersweetness, winey hints, and a note of green herbs. The aroma smells syrupy, with a liquor undertone, and high level of fruit in the steam. The cup shows incredible complexity, and an atypical flavor profile for the coffees we're used to tasting from Sumatra! It boasts complex fruit flavors, like stewed plums, green apple and spice, earthy fresh fig, and a root-y sweetness of sarsaparilla. There's some boozy/fermentation flavors, that along with the heavy-handed fruits, sketch out flavor profiles of peach brandy, and a Winter ale. Aromatic spice notes make a strong impact on the cup aroma, along with thick chocolate sauce, and a rustic cocoa nib note that adds earth-toned, bittersweet accents to the fruited aftertaste. This is an intense brew with big body to match. I imagine Full City+ will capture quite a bit more of the bittersweet side this coffee is capable of producing with a little less fruit, though I doubt you can roast it out altogether!
