Roaster's tasting notes
The verdict
Strong Cardamon and curry spices on nose. Hard to grind. Need grind coarser as water not passing through the device fast enough. Works nice as iced coffee – mellows out slightly bitter finish.
What the roaster says
WHAT IS A FILTER BLEND? Single-origin coffees boast unique flavors but can be unbalanced. Their strengths become weaknesses: Ethiopian coffees, while bright and floral, lack body. To create a more complete and balanced cup, we blend beans from various regions, like those known for full-bodied characteristics. This is where filter blends excel, offering a more well-rounded taste experience. We think filter coffee could be better in quality and taste, a more balanced cup, and a complete sensory experience.
WHY IS IT CALLED THE FORBIDDEN TREE? As we know, there are several flowering trees, and all trees that are flowering plants produce fruit. We liken this coffee to the forbidden tree, that is flowering and produces fruit. The effect of its Fruit occurs in all human beings and is the result of man’s desire to know more than the unknown, along with its Flower and Fruit that gives us fantasies.
Dive deep into flavor with the Forbidden Ethiopian Blend. Hambela Cardamom’s warm spice dances with Yirgacheffe’s delicate florals. Each sip is a cozy adventure, a sweet and funky play on Pomelo and aromatic Jasmine. Complete your Forbidden experience and ignite your coffee fantasies. Let the Forbidden warm your soul and awaken your taste buds.
