Just cupped the last two containers of this seasons crop .....Organic Peru

I just received the last two chop samples of this seasons Organic Peru. They are nice and green and very uniform. would say 18-20 screen(nice and plump). As the sample roaster was tumbling the coffee and the temp. increased the beans started to pop(like corn)and the wonderful aroma of sweet carmal filled my office. After approx. 20 minutes the medium roasted Organic Peru was out of the roaster and in my old Hobart grinder. Man, do I have a great job!! The blast of intense rich coffee aroma is intoxicating. The cup was bright with good acitity and very smooth with a lingerling after taste that sits on the back of the tongue. The undertones are rich coffee/carmal. I had to buy enough to last us till the new crop arrives in late March. So if you looking for a very nice Organic this Peru won't disapoint you.
