Shantawene

Every 50 or so Moustache deliveries, I'll run into one I don't care for. Shantawene is that for me. While it's certainly intriguing and offers a moderate level of complexity, the flavors just aren't pleasant IMO. Maybe a bit of strawberry sweetness, but I'm not picking up on marshmallow or chocolate. There's a moderate level of acid present that when combined with a certain earthy, fungal nature to this bean, does not sit well with me. Your mileage may vary.

I've been having high-end coffees at home for years, and I rank this among the very best of them. Moustache's tasting notes are right on (and that's saying something; I often struggle to detect the listed notes for any given coffee), and they're all flavors that I like best in a coffee (berry, chocolate, the sticky-sweetness of marshmallow or something like it). I dare say I pick up malt in this too - another of my top flavors.
