Sitio Vargem Anaerobic #7

Smooth, mellow, flavorful, and a bit funky, this coffee is a gem. It's one of the few I've encountered where the flavor matches the nose almost exactly. Surprisingly (to me), I like this anaerobic version even a bit more than the normal, aerobic version.

This coffee is a delight and exactly the reason I love to get beans from MCC. It is balanced, rich, sits in the mouth beautifully. 3 minutes in the French Press gave a great brew. Looking forward to trying it in the Aeropress.

This is about as far from berry-bomb naturals as you can get. Lavendar is exactly the right floral descriptor: It has a bit of the cooling sensation of the flower, but without the vegetal parts of mint. The full acidity arrives right after that, leaving you to sort out the rest of the flavor. I haven't been able to pin these beans down: They are exceptionally sensitive to grind size and technique changes.
