brew smells sweet

first sip is a bit spice like. a bit more bitter than i like. some mellow acidity. vanilla like note with more sips. not bad overall.

brew smells kind of "metallic"

there is a mild bitterness with an acidity that tastes very mildly of apples. the bitterness lingers but it is not as intense/bad as the previous bcr coffees. could be ok with some tweaking maybe.

hoysala estate naturals (""light roast"")

had lofty goals (in hindsight) of comparing washed/naturals of the same coffee but the washed one was bad so.

beans & brew smell sweet and a bit burnt.

less immediately bitter like the washed one but it washes over the tongue with sips. rest of the brew tastes empty. maybe a very slight acidity. needs tweaking.

brew smells burnt, woody, ashy

the taste is a wave of bitter burnt taste with nothing else. i have never tasted this much on the spectrum of bitterness before. might be hallucinating an extremely faint hint of peanuts in the background

ground beans smell very fermenty/boozy. brew smells fruity; a bit burnt.

first sip: mildly sweet with fruity acidity. theres a significant bitter aftertaste that overwhelms everything else. bitterness mostly reduces with further sips. definitely have to go less agitation on this one.

the brew smells sweet.

first sip is slightly sweet with some acidity. a slight tea like mild bitterness. the acidity reads like grapes with more sips. very mellow. wonder how this will do with less agitation.

brew smells faintly like cloves and cardamom.

first sip is mostly bitter with a tiny hint of citrus like acidity. afterwards bitterness fades a bit and the citrus note becomes more prominent. the bitterness remains steady until the end. might try some things to lower the bitterness later.

brew smells spicy and a bit floral.

taste is mildly bitter upfront. tastes a bit like cardamom, nutmeg. bitterness lingers unpleasantly but reduces with sips. theres a sickly burnt sweetness in background.

like last years bewild robusta, this is not my cup of tea

(only preliminary notes since this is mixed with a tiny bit of the previous coffee. full assessment next time.)

tastes a tiny bit bitter upfront. there are floral notes in there but im deficient in recognizing them. there is sort of a tart acidity too.

New robusta from caffinary called "Garnet Vin Doux": https://caffinary.com/products/vin-doux?variant=44879530361032

their "Couverture Canephora" (https://caffinary.com/products/couverture-canephora?variant=43613026418888) was my fav robusta from 2025 so interested in this one too.

a couple of new robusta launches by naivo:

1. "The Nut Job – Mooleh Manay 120H Carbonic Naturals" (https://naivo.in/product/the-nut-job-mooleh-manay-120h-carbonic-naturals/)

2. "Sweet Illusions – BEWILD Permaculture 180H Anoxic Naturals" (https://naivo.in/product/sweet-illusions-bewild-permaculture-180h-anoxic-naturals-fine-robusta/?mc_cid=06a8de4233)

the sweet illusions seems up my alley but the last bewild from naivo was definitely not my favourite (https://mastodon.social/@enyantiomer/113769399380720568)

smells exactly like dark chocolate with a hint of fruit.

tastes almost exactly like couverture canephora from caffinary. dark chocolate taste with mellow fruity acidity. the taste doesnt really change much with sips except maybe the fruity note gets a bit more prominent.

this is only a preliminary note since its mixed with 7 grams of my previous coffee, but this robusta by el bueno ("cacao me crazy"): https://elbuenocoffee.com/product/cacao-me-crazy/ might be a slightly cheaper alternative to the best robusta i had tasted before (https://caffinary.com/products/couverture-canephora)

now on the anaerobic naturals 200g from this bundle: https://rossettecoffee.com/products/excelsa-duo-yeast-inoculated-naturals-100g-anaerobic-naturals-200g

this one has more bitterness compared to the yeast naturals. but it also has a syrupy mouthfeel and some floral stuff going on. there is a pleasant acidic general fruitiness to it that lingers. pretty good.

and another one. this time its "Couverture Canephora" from caffinary: https://caffinary.com/products/couverture-canephora

this is the best robusta so far. it tastes like a cup of hot cocoa with a bit of fruity acidity. no unpleasant bitterness at all. even the beans smell like chocolate, ground and unground. i can see why they call it couverture!

Haven't posted about coffee in a while - here's the last two coffee bags I finished. Both v good, Ratnagiri Honey was a highlight.

Been having Monsoon Malabar from my local coffee shop these days (pic not included, I've posted it sometime in the past) using my Hario Switch as a pourover. I barely get the time to make coffee these days though.
