Hi everyone, I was given a packet of unidentified green beans for Christmas. Any ideas what they might be? Here are some details:
- The beans are naturally processed, or maybe honey processed or some other method. Definitely not washed.
- They are either ungraded, or very poorly graded with a variety of sizes, broken beans, pea berries, etc. Even some stones!
- Green they give off a prominent aroma of fermented fruit.
- I roasted some for filter using a standard profile for high grown naturals. The result was pretty motley, but a surprising aroma of nuts and caramel came off the grinder.
- I have only tried it as a cold drip, but the nuts and sweet caramel carry through strongly in the cup. Medium bodied with a delicate acidity. It was actually very enjoyable. Definitely much smoother and more refined than I was expecting.
My guess is maybe a honey processed Colombian, or something similar. Am I on the right track? Any other ideas?
