Sample roast of two thick body beans

These two beans have the similar features. Both have thick heavy bodies and also taste heavy body. So I try two different roast type for the first shot. The "High" and the "City". The result is the Tanzania prefer the 'High" type as the Colombia is better with "City-".

Tanzania Isende FBG

The Tanzania beans fragrance has a smell of caramel popcorn, sweet caramelizing sugars and toasted grain. The wet aroma sees a bolstered sweetness, brown sugar and nutmeg in light roasts. This roast have a finish that rides the line of heavily extracted black tea, inky body, a rich powdered cocoa flavor, and balanced sweetness.

Colombia Timaná Dos Cafetales

The Colombia beans showedfruit-forward coming out of the grinder, some cane juice sweetness, but a scent of fruit syrup is what's in the foreground. The aroma is potent, loaded with tropical fruit based in brown sugar, a nice fruit paste and cinnamon bread smell on the break.

When hot, the cup hot has a nice mix of raw sugar and faint citrus notes, with lingering of bittersweet in the finish. City- roasts produces dark fruit jam flavors as well as sees chocolate roast tones creeping in. The acidity is very juicy and prominent in the cup, falling somewhere in-between malic to citric. This is a complex Colombian cup through and through.

In the end

Both are good for blend to espresso,but not feature enough to perform as very good single original beans.
