A few days ago, I was the recipient of a very generous gift of some of TC's wonderful coffee... 
I tried it for the first time today, and WOW! What a stand-out coffee this one is...
It's everything I strive to achieve with my very humble setup but can never quite get there.
The initial sensation on the palate is one of superb sweetness coupled with a short, sharp but restrained bitterness (which I enjoyed immensely). This is very rapidly replaced by some very complex berry fruitiness (and maybe some juicy blood orange) that has an almost sherbet-like acidity that sparkles across the palate. Some faint but very pleasant nuttiness could be detected as the cleansing acidity diminished. Mouthfeel could be described as quite viscous and luscious but not cloying at all. The finish is a very clean, earthy and almost umami savouriness that is most interesting.
It is difficult to believe that all of this could be coming from a single estate bean and not from a blend but there it is. A great coffee that has been roasted to perfection in my opinion. Highly recommended to shout yourself some as a real treat...
