Intelligentsia coffee tasting

 

 Somewhat sparkles and not very acidic with a definite juiciness in the body.The roaster's tasting notes state that there is honeydew and pear. To me it seems more of a kiwi notes than pear.  I had an interesting lasting sensation on the tips of my tongue that was salt-like, but also Sweet Tart like fruit tart.  It would be a nice morning cup.

 A friend of mine, Suhaimie bought a beautiful red bag of coffee.  This red bag contained an organic coffee called "Anjilanaka, Bolivia; San Juan Ocho Estrellas"—a long name for one bag of beans. Anjilanaka means "angels" in Bolivia's native language, and this coffee was named after Intelligentsia's big expansion into the Los Angeles market. The coffee was grown on the Estrellas Farm, by San Juan the eighth. The Estrellas Farm is located in the Caranavi region of Bolivia, and coffee is grown about 1,800 meters above sea level. All this information may be interesting, but the truth comes out when brewing this special bean. The Bolivian's has floral beginning but the honey-like body and sweetness accented the pear notes they  described. These flavors became apparent right away—they moved along into an interestingly light chocolate finish that stayed with me through each sip. And in my nose, I could feel a nuttiness that reminded me of Nutella on waffles. It's reasonable to say this coffee is a must-try, ask Suhaimie if he has any left.
