With the first sub 20 degree day here I dusted off the vacpot and started enjoying some brewed coffee. My usual espresso favorites will take a break as I explore the winter coffees. This got me thinking, what are we all drinking?
Im drinking a blend of Panama Gran De Val and Brazil Daterra Sweet Collection. The Brazil is roasted to the start of 2nd and the Panama just into 2nd, blended 50/50. I brewed it through my vac-pot this arvo and it is fantastic. This brew method really highlights the smooth velvety texture of this blend. With just a touch of milk this hot cup has sweet milk chocolate flavours and smooth peanut buttery undertones. As it cools (which is some time as I have a 400ml coffee cup) the milk chocolate deepens into more of a rich, bitter, cocoa note that intensifies and the nutty flavour swings from peanut to hazelnut and becomes more subtle. My last sip could be cocoa residue from a hot chocolate.
