El Salvador Dali – Larry’s Beans September 8, 2008
I’m having my second bag of Larry’s Beans today, their El Salvador Dali blend. This is my first blend in a while, I’ve been sticking with single origins the last few months. It’s roasted a bit darker than I’m used to, somewhere between a Full City and Vienna I’d say (though I really don’t know this stuff). A darker roast usually brings out a deeper body in the coffee, but can hide some of the subtle flavors.
This is definitely the case with the El Salvador Dali blend, serious body with some hints of dark chocolate. I’m not a chocolate fan, that’s my wife’s addiction, but everything is great in moderation. The hints this coffee pushes are very nice, and linger a while in my mouth. I’m still tasting the chocolate and it’s been 5 minutes since my last sip.
This makes a good morning coffee, it’s strong and bold, started my day off right. It’s a monday too, so I need all the help I can get. I still don’t have that kick I got from the Huehuetenango. Maybe that’s a unique characteristic of Guatemalan coffee, or maybe it’s been so long since I had it I remember it better than it actually was. I think I need to take a trip to buy a 1/2 pound tonight.
