indonesia coffee
by gray squirrel coffee company · chapel hill, usa
you'll taste milk chocolate before dark chocolate. this is mocha java blend, a natural indonesia from gray squirrel coffee company.
it tastes of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond, with an earthy character that is common to sumatran naturals. the overall profile leans rich and grounded rather than bright or fruity.
it is sourced from sumatra, indonesia and processed using the natural method, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the seed is removed. this technique tends to produce a heavier body and more pronounced earthy flavors.
brew methods that highlight body and richness, such as french press or moka pot, suit this coffee well given its natural processing and earthy, chocolatey profile. it can also work as espresso, where the dark chocolate and almond notes tend to concentrate.
