Well. We blew through multiple coffees last week, and once again, I found my way to Tougo, to seek a new coffee for the upcoming week. There, they had their normal stock of Kuma, Velton's, and had some Ritual back in stock. I took the leap for the Ritual La Folie, Antigua, Guatemala, as we had an exceptional experience with their Ecuador Quilanga back in April (ahhh, how has the year ticked away so quickly?). Outside of Tougo's recommendation towards the Guatemala from Ritual, I liked the sound of Green Apple candy, and the curious name of "La Folie" grown by "The Penny Sisters." French name of coffee, and English name of growers in Guatemala. Curious.
Soft clean nose, and a mild bloom, as this was roasted 10 days ago.
Really crisp, citrus notes up front, which drop back to reveal a touch of roast, chocolate, and almond tones, with some floral notes. Nice nuances.
