Velton's - Mexico Chiapas Grapos - Inverted Aeropress

I procured another coffee from our standard Tougo Coffee, where apparently there were two Guatemalan coffees from Kuma Coffee and a Mexican from Veltons. I had to go with the Velton's Mexico Chiapas Grapos, as we tend to pick up Kuma Coffees recently. Additionally, the lore and history of the Chiapas region in Mexico, heavily indigenous, with some challenges to the Mexican government via the Zapatista rebels, was a factor in my decision. Now, it is worth the point that we had spoken to folks at Slate Coffee, who had spoken highly of Velton's, that reassure our choice of this roaster as a great consistent choice.

Nice medium roast of coffee, looks very consistent.

Bloomed well, at one week after roasting.

Tasting notes: opens with a bright berry / nutty tone, which finishes out as a non-sweetened caramel/chocolate flavor. This is a very "clean" tasting coffee, not to heavily smokey.
