    starting off the new year with sweet illusions robusta by naivo: naivo.in/product/sweet-illusio

    about 2:15 brew time
    93°C water

    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

  2. #RobustaQuest #IndianCoffee

    a couple of new robusta launches by naivo:

    1. "The Nut Job – Mooleh Manay 120H Carbonic Naturals" (naivo.in/product/the-nut-job-m)

    2. "Sweet Illusions – BEWILD Permaculture 180H Anoxic Naturals" (naivo.in/product/sweet-illusio)

    the sweet illusions seems up my alley but the last bewild from naivo was definitely not my favourite (mastodon.social/@enyantiomer/1)

    "cacao me crazy!" (mosto process naturals) by el bueno: elbuenocoffee.com/product/caca

    about 2:45 minutes brew time
    100°C water

    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.

  4. 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"): elbuenocoffee.com/product/caca might be a slightly cheaper alternative to the best robusta i had tasted before (caffinary.com/products/couvert)

    and another one. this time its "Couverture Canephora" from caffinary: caffinary.com/products/couvert

    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!
