Colombia Antioquia -Jardin Cerulean Warbler

Cerulean Warbler
Tweet, tweet. Tweet, tweet. What's that sound? It is the sound of a really dumb name for a coffee. You can see the picture of the birdie to the left - the Cerulean Warbler. Apparently this coffee comes from an area where there is some sort of conservation project to help out this bird whose population is declining. That's nice, but how does it taste?

I wanted to roast this one very lightly:


Based on observing the roast, this is one dense little seed. Seventeen and a half minutes got me a City roast, perhaps a tad more. Despite the silly name, this is a really nice coffee. Sweet, balanced, and delicate - this is a good palate reset after a bunch of dry processed coffees I have been drinking lately. There is some peach in the aroma, and plenty of acidity as a backbone. Drinking it later in the week, I find some typical raisiny notes as well. This was dynamite in a vacuum pot also. I would get this one again.
