Nicaragua Buenos Aires Maracaturra

I've really enjoyed brewing my City+ roast, which splits the difference between the subtle aromatic qualities of Maracaturra coffee, and fully fleshed out sweetness that comes with a bit more roast development. The dry fragrance has a smell of toffee, dark sugars, and cinnamon. The wet aroma shows strength in sweetness, dark sugar notes are amplified, brown sugar, a light herbal hint, and barley tea. Our City roast had a light, airy quality, mildly sweet with notes of simple syrup and demerara sugar, with subtle complexity that builds as it cools. It's a lighter profile in terms of body and sweetness, and accents zested citrus, and Assam tea bring out the acidic impression. City+ developed more of a sweetness-driven profile, drawing out flavors of brown sugar and marzipan, along with a hint of clove syrup. Internal roast development can be difficult to achieve with Maracaturras because of the large screen size. For a light City roast, try roasting try pulling as soon as the rolling snaps come to a close. A few latent snaps are fine. Pull too early, and you might taste a little grassiness in the profile from internal underdevelopment. There's a fine line between too light and too dark, but I think this coffee is well worth the risk!
