Elm Coffee Roasters - Burundi Ikawa - Inverted Aeropress
So, it's been quite some time since we have blogged. Partially, this is due to us commencing our
own roasting (we aren't blogging on it's quality, not because we don't like it but because
repping our own coffee would introduce some bias...), work flows, family stuff, and otherwise.
We have been checking out the new Elm Coffee Roasters, a formidable new but not new roasters, as
Drew Fitchette is former roaster at Stumptown. Elm has a clean, open, woody vibe (hey, we like
puns, and their use of clean wood in the design pays a nice homage to their name), and incidentally
brews some great coffee. Today we picked up the Burundi Ikawa, roasted all of the 3 days ago.
Great bloom, obviously.
Tasting notes: Immediately fruit forward grapelike, spicy, with a crisp citrus tone. As it cools, the citrus and spice notes
become more prominent and the fruit tones decrease, but juiciness upticks. Really
Jay's rating: 9
Brent's rating: 9
Solid.
