I’m running low on coffee. That means one thing – ordering coffee from Intelligentia ! (Ordering it today means that it’ll be roasted within the next day or two, and in my paws by the end of the week)
Alas, they were out of the Rwanda, which is probably my current favorite, but I ordered:
Idido Misty Valley Natural, Ethiopia Yergacheffe
Characteristics:
Acidity: zesty, round
Body: syrupy, thick, velvety
Flavor: candied fruit, wild berries, red grape
Finish: spicy, winy, sweetTasting Notes:
A coffee for those who love fruit and zest, the Idido saturates the palate with flavors reminiscent of candied fruit, wild berry, and grape jelly. An especially full and syrupy body provides a great playground for all of the flavors, and adds to the coffee’s distinct dessert-like character.
Characteristics:
Acidity: Soft, fruity
Body: Syrupy, full
Flavor: Perfumey, floral, molasses, chocolate
Finish: Apricot, chocolateTasting Notes:
Everything you have ever wanted from a Sumatra but were never able to find. The impeccable processing provides a wet, refreshing coffee with syrupy molasses and ripe apricot. Intense herbal and floral notes give the cup a huge presence and taste.
Characteristics:
Acidity: crisp, buoyant
Body: medium, satiny
Flavor: pear, fruit cocktail, semi-sweet
Finish: clean, sweet, chocolateTasting Notes:
Sweet and delicate fruit combined with notes of semi-sweet chocolate are what make this coffee go. The flavors are held together cleanly and without interference—seamless and refreshing. The acidity is buoyant and round, and the satiny body is balanced and supportive while maintaining a pleasant sense of levity.
With seedlings from the Jamaica Blue Mountain region, cultivation of coffee began in Papua New Guinea in the late 30′s. It offers full syrupy body, balanced snappy acidity, and wonderful complexity. Some say it is reminiscent of what Jamaica Blue Mountain used to taste like.
