Coffee Tasting Results

We tasted some coffees at work today. Here are the results…

The Coffees

  1. Five Senses – Earth (Blend)
    There are no subtleties in this cup – earthy, forest-floor like
    flavours, lots of body, low acidity and a lingering after-taste make this
    one a versatile coffee that can be enjoyed either as espresso or through
    milk.
  2. Five Senses – Harmony (Blend)
    Harmonising squeaky green Fairtrade Organic beans in a smooth symphony
    of rich cocoa, this blend has fresh overtones that resonate across the
    palate, leaving you lingering, wantonly, for just one more cup…
  3. Five Senses – Purosa (Papua New Guinean)
    Blackcurrant and mulberry aromas. Liquorice undertones with a hint of
    dried apricots. Buttery mouth-feel, long lasting after-taste.
  4. Five Senses – Harrar (Ethiopian)
    The blueberry aroma is a classic characteristic for all Harrar’s. This
    fragrance translates to deep berry fruit on the palate with persistent
    sweetness and velvety mouthfeel.)
  5. Gravity Organic (Blend)
    Full-bodied, smooth and creamy blend, highlighting delicious chocolate
    and toffee characteristics with delicate fruit flavours and a rich, long
    after-taste.
