Coffee Snob | Combo 2 Pack

watermelon - Watermelon was an obvious choice for us on this one as this coffee had a lot of sweet juicy notes.  We also had to find a fruit to showcase the extreme sweetness in the cup.  This also helps explain the light mouthfeel this coffee has.  It is not a bold and rich coffee, but a sweet and juicy one.

pomegranate - We were looking for a fruit note that describes the tart acidity that we thought was very prominent in the cup and pomegranate was the perfect option.  

orange juice - if you haven’t noticed by now, this is a heavily fruited coffee with a lot of juice and citric acidity.  We were with OJ instead of oranges to point out that the bitterness is not overpowering, but still there.

mandarin - This coffee is extremely smooth and especially sweet. This is the major characteristic of this coffee’s flavor profile, so we felt the need to implicitly communicate that in every note that we had. Although there is a touch of citric acidity in the cup, there was nothing in the profile that stood out as particularly sour, so we went with the least acidic citrus fruit there is. 

chocolate ganache - This coffee isn’t incredibly chocolate forward, nothing like the profile you’d get from a Guatemalan coffee, but its cocoa notes are so smooth and sit perfectly on the palate that we thought we’d feature that as a note. 

grape juice - Sweet sweet smooth. Again, this note stands as a way to convey a particularly subtle fruited acidity that’s primarily driven by the smoothness of the cup.
