Vietnam

Description

This coffee excites me in the weirdest way. It definitely is something that made me do a double-look. At first sip, I get an earthy flavor reminding me of tobacco, the middle opens up with a heavier mouthfeel like dark chocolate, and it finishes with a fruitiness like black cherry. I roasted this to what I believe a dark roast should be. I'm excited for you all to try!
