Kalsada Sitio Bellis - Brew Chart & Impressions
Our first ever coffee from the Philippines delivers quite the unique profile!
To make it as versatile as possible, we opted for a slightly more developed roast (3/5 for those familiar with our roast levels) that we would define as medium-light, whatever that means ;-)
The acidity is full of citrus, notably orange.
The coffee also feels like a sweet and sour sauce, it tastes like tamarind, a fruit extremely popular in cuisine in Asia. We also had undertones of dates and caramel.
The finish is full of interesting spice notes, and maybe it was something else but pepper pop in our mind. Maybe we won't be the only ones so please let us know your thoughts once you taste it!
The finish reminded us of malt as well.
