Old City Coffee: Sulawesi Kalosi Toraja Grade1

Old City Coffee: Sulawesi Kalosi Toraja Grade1

This week's special at Old city coffee (Reading Terminal market) is a uniquely spicy bean from a little island around Indonesia. Low acidity, low in the oils (only slightly creamy), but pretty sweet with a woody flavor, a hint of maple syrup, and leaves a lingering taste of dark chocolate in the mouth. Also, the ground powered gives a slight smell of cinnamon after the infusion.

很特別的一支豆子。照往常用syphon煮。剛下粉時有檀木香,水剛上來後那5秒內有陣陣香料味(一時認不出是什麼香料)。煮完後的咖啡渣有淡淡的肉桂香。

喝起來感覺弱酸,油質感也很弱。(不知為何Old city今年烘的豆子都不太有油脂感)有種濃烈的甜味,有點像楓糖又有點像麥芽糖的感覺。檀木香還是一直都在。喝完會殘留黑巧克力的口感在舌頭上,像台灣在賣的那種明治85% cacao的感覺。咖啡冷了之後開始有印度香料的感覺,還有一點佛堂線香的香味。

好久沒碰到這麼奇妙的豆子,這隻豆子 Old city coffee只賣到3/8喔,費城的朋友想試試的快去找XD
