  • Uncommon Grounds

    Berkeley, California

  • Sumatra Gayo Mountain

Roast: Very-Dark Review Date: April 1997
Origin: Sumatra Price: NA
 

Blind Assessment: Dark fruit (prune?) tones complicate a solid, balanced, dark-roast character. Some carbon at the top of the profile, but good Indonesia richness underneath. The carbon dominates in the aftertaste.

Notes: Dark fruit tones complicate a solid, balanced, dark-roast character. Gayo Mountain is a large cooperative near the northern tip of Sumatra.

Who Should Drink It: The roastmaster detected peach in the aroma of this coffee. I got prune. Perhaps his peaches are my prunes, which doesn't say much for my outlook on life. Try it yourself.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
