I’ve been behind on my coffee posting. I think I’ve been also kind of slow in drinking coffee too. Anyways, July’s Angels Cup comes from Black Oak Coffee Roasters. The coffee is a Columbian single origin bean that’s been light roasted. This is a Caturra varietal if it means anything. To be honest, I haven’t spent enough time to learn about the arabica varietals. I’ve seen them on the various bags from the roasters but never looked much into them. I have noticed some taste differences but I’ve always attributed it to the roasters and roasting variabilities.

First open of the bag is nothing out of the ordinary. The beans have a pleasant normal coffee smell with a little bit of fruit aromas. Making my latte, the initial sip was a little shocking. It had a strong black tea and sweet caramel sugar flavor. After getting used to the initial flavor punch, I start tasting berry and chocolate flavors. Sometimes I’ll go for a 2nd cup of coffee becuase of the tea and caramel flavors seem to mix so well together.
