Cupping Notes from Sweet Maria’s
The dry fragrance is very sweet, City+ roasts having the crystalline sweetness of white frosting, with faint allusions to caramel popcorn. Full City showcases more of a mixture of dark cocoa mixed with beer grains and brown sugar. The wet grounds show nice, solid balance of flavors, chocolate-covered nut, caramels, and a subtle dried fruit note is released when breaking through the wetted crust. Full City roast boasted big sweetness as well, base flavors are a cross between high % dark chocolate bar laced with caramelized sugars. Light to middle roasts are where fruit is found, albeit in low volume. Whereas Full City and Full City+ are just incredibly chocolatey brews. Evaluated as espresso,… a delicious intermingling of syrupy chocolate and carbonized sugar notes, accented by a hint of lemon peel, all wrapped up in a satiny mouthfeel that leads to a long finish.
