Old El Paso Roasting Company, Chiapas, MX Coffee From DP Coffee Club
This Sample came in a 2 ounce, pre-ground sample pack. On the package, it says the sample brews 10-12 cups so instead of doing a pour-over I chose to brew it in my Bella auto drip maker.
Once the seal was broken on the bag I could smell rich notes of caramel. Once wet the aroma changed to a sweet mix of plum and pecans.
Sipping from the cup, the hot coffee was sweet, with light note of pecan, and a light, brisk mouthfeel. There was also a sharp, overpowering tartness that wasn't supported by a flavor. As the coffee cooled in the cup the tartness changed to bitterness.
With the sharp tartness without a supporting flavor nuance I feel this coffee is at the wrong roast level creating an out of balance cup. Perhaps had I ground this sample myself I could have found a better grind to bring out the flavors.
