Brazil Fazenda Inglaterra Natural Bourbon
"Dark chocolate, walnut, almond, caramel"
The contrast with the funky Ethiopian couldn't be more stark.
I drank this for several months in 2019 - blended with a second Brazilian and would have continued if they hadn't run out.
As per my recollection, this is like super dark cocoa - not quite as "dry" as I perceived before - my finish grind and open metal filter add to the effect.
Some will find this a bit too rich and even cloying and thirst for some acidity and I will almost certainly blend this as I did before - especially since I have some interesting Ethiopian beans with an unusually full upper midrange - who knows, this might be the basis of a 3 way blend with some of my Sumatran beans for the "treble" ...
But I can see myself drinking this by itself sometimes.
I'm relieved I don't have to try to identify "fruit" in this as there isn't any
I will be buying these for as long as they're available - since the last batch of very similar TwoDay El Borbollon beans weren't as overpoweringly chocolatey as the first.
5/5
