Jay's great friends got hitched, and honored him by inviting him to officiate their wedding. The day prior to the wedding, they surprised him out of their thoughtfulness, by buying him a year-long subscription to Slate Coffees, and a bottle of gin. So he wouldn't have to wait for the first bag, they already gave him some of their Finca Cerra Negro, El Playon Honduras which is a honey-processed coffee that they made for the Volunteer Park Café, here in Seattle.
As Jay couldn't wait to try it in the office, he used his french press at home, but it did the coffee little justice on its complexity, giving it an intense, smokey taste.
Tasting notes: Now, Monday morning in the office, the aeropress gives it some three dimensionality: The citrus notes come forth, and it is much sweeter and much less smokey than the French press at home. Overall, a little darker than we would have expected due to the Region and the roaster, but from my taste at Volunteer Park Café, they tend to like a little more intensity.
Jay's rating: 7
Brent's rating: 8.5
