Frinsa Saccharic

Enjoyed this coffee, but it's not for everyone. Know what you're getting - a sweetness bomb. Read the Moustache description. Notice the etymology of the word Saccharic. Beyond all that, this is one delicious coffee for those who enjoy sweetness or are just looking to mix things up. Not the most complex bean, and it isn't striving to be. However, a touch of earthiness and acid do help balance things out a bit. Sweetness, here's your moment in the sun.

I'm not picking up much sweetness at all: based on the other reviews, I seem like an extreme outlier. It may come down to water or technique or taste buds that have stopped working: Who knows? In any case, the star rating above is a little deceiving. I quite liked this for what it was, but for me it wasn't at all what was written on the tin. There's certainly a lot of body. The coffee is nice and heavy even as a quite coarse pourover. However, that syrupiness didn't come with much sweetness or fruit for me: Instead, an acidity I assume is from the fermentation and tea-like notes.
