My amazing wife decided to make me a special Father's Day breakfast, and went all out, heading to the good ol' Tougo. She spotted a bag of the Sihereni, Papua New Guinea by PT's Coffee Co, and upon verifying its quality with the proprietor, promptly brought it back home. I prepared it initially on the French Press, which shocked me due to the lightness, crispness and acidity that it had for this region (normally it's charred up, earthy-smokey-herby monolith for my taste). So, I could only hope that the Aeropress would bring out further subtleties. This morning, we had that chance.
The foam on this was probably about a 1/2 inch thick, although I couldn't find a roast date on the bag for the life of me. But oh yes, it is fresh.
The black tea notes were forefront, followed by some fruit (you could call it peach, or cantaloupe), and the flavor rapidly evolved as the coffee cooled. This stuff definitely redeems any shortcomings within the Fazenda Rainha from Brazil which we weren't too keen on. Note to self: my wife has excellent taste in coffee.
