Timor Leste Aifu Ermera

Washed Timor's hold such an interesting place within the flavor palette of Indonesian coffee. Most coffee from East Timor are wet-processed, and tend to tick off the boxes of more crowd pleasing type coffee flavors, much like a versatile Latin American coffee. This small producer blend from Aifu region offers just that, with broad chocolatey low tones, mild sweetness, and just a hint of acidity. City+ roasts smells of unrefined sweetness, like molasses, with some rustic complexity, and bittersweet cocoa. The molasses flavor comes through in the cup as well, along with notes of sorghum and corn syrups. The cup has a mild fruit accent that fades to some earthy notes of tobacco and roasted barley in the aftertaste. It's a fairly low acid coffee too, capable of developing robust chocolate roast flavors with dark roasting. Both tend to be qualifiers for espresso and milk drinks!
