Café au Citrus Rum
Appearance   3.5 / 5
Color: ironic - fractionally darker than its 80% sibling (roasted minutely longer)
Surface: cleaner though still some instability w/ scored lines wavering, scuffed face, flecks, & dust
Temper: semi-flat
Snap: clunks open a sandy edge
Aroma   7.1 / 10
huge picholine olive surrounded in wood-fired roast; fermented tang & bay leaf buried unerneath
Mouthfeel   14 / 15
Texture: porous dry-stick roll-on...
Melt: ... highly even-distribution turns into a rapid water-wheel
Flavor   40.3 / 50
monster super-sweet strawberry jumps out to get you -> brings wild (& totally unexpected) blueberry loop -> morphs tart against rising bitter -> almond to coffee -> green picholine w/ underside of cocoa & marshmallow -> fuses chocolate rum (semi-tang) -> citrus green pummelo
Quality   17.5 / 20
Beyond Domori... virtually NO-impact processing (low roast / only a quasi-conche via tempering unit) generates quick flavor progression. Good balance, especially for bean of relatively long ferment, with several peaks. Taza’s best to date.
