This is pretty cool actually, because I don’t usually get coffee from outside Europe and what’s even cooler is that I knew about today’s posts star before I even went into hardcore Specialty Coffee. Today’s post is about a lovely bag of coffee from the New York Metropolitan area called Coffee Labs!
Even though I’ve known about Coffee Labs for probably over 15 years, I’ve actually never tried their coffee. So getting three bags of coffee with a roaster I’ve wanted to try for years is pure joy for a person like me.
Today I’m drinking their Ethiopia Anderacha; it’s at a light roast but not as light as how we do it in Scandinavia. However, I’m more and more into this kind of light roast because it has developed a richer flavor that has no burnt notes attached to it at all. I feel that this kind of roast is what the optimal roast level is for my taste buds, amazing!
The coffee itself has a lot of chocolate going, it’s easily an everyday coffee and it doesn’t get too much diluted if you pour milk into it, not that I personally do but I have to try how it works with and without milk. The bags description of the coffees flavor profile (milk chocolate, Meyer lemon, cashew, very well balanced) had a different lemon that I’m used to, the Meyer lemon is a hybrid between lemon and mandarin/pomelo. When I think about those citruses together you actually get a hint of it, acidic yet a fruity bitterness. Pretty cool!
