Chocolate notes for sure. Not like the bag flavors at all; will need to try brewing it more normally and perhaps bumping up the temp. The fragrance when brewing is actually strongly of rye bread? Somehow. Next day, standard bloom plus one pour brew on the Orea, 55 on ZP6, no temperature fuckery. Interesting. Getting closer to the bag notes, but the chocolate and rye are still there. Like a dark chocolate square with raspberry filling on dark rye toast with apple butter. More "developed"/cooked flavors than expected, but definitely tasty. As the coffee cools the berry notes become more forward. # Vendor Copy > Tastes Like: Verbena, Forest Berry, Pear > > Origin: Coffea diversa, Biolley, Costa Rica > > Variety: Sudan Rume > > Producer: Gonzalo Hernandez > > Elevation: 1200-1350 masl > > Process: Honey > > From Gonzalo: > "Coffea diversa is a concept, If you were to visit any coffee farm, in any coffee producing country in the world, you'd notice that generally, there is only one coffee botanical variety being grown in that farm, in other words, most coffee farms in the world are mono-varietal. > Coffea diversa has developed a completely different approach, the coffee garden approach. This estate grows many different rare and exotic coffee botanical variants, it is in fact a multi-variety farm. Most of the botanical variants grown here you would not find anywhere else in the world, Coffea diversa is the only place growing them commercially. > > There is an untapped source of taste profiles given by coffee genetics in the form of the different rare and exotic botanical coffee variants. This source of taste profiles had not been available to the market until now. We have a collaborative Coffea diversa garden project located in Central Valley and Tres Rios regions with our friend Francisco Gonzalez who is a forward-looking coffee farmer. There we grow many of the botanical variants we also grow in Biolley. > > Coffea diversa has the largest private coffee botanical variants collection in the world with about 850 specimens (many of them are not producing yet). Currently we produced micro-lots of about 25 different coffee botanical variants. So, like in a conventional flower garden in which you find many types of plants producing many different types of flowers, in our Coffea diversa Garden you will find many different types of rare coffee botanical variants, that’s why we say: WE ARE NOT A COFFEE FARM, WE ARE A COFFEE GARDEN."
