Tasting notes

About this bean

Stimulate is a dark roast from Greater Goods Roasting, sourced from Colombia, Peru, Ethiopia. It is prepared using the washed + natural method. Dark roasts develop more body and roast-driven sweetness through deeper caramelisation. The origin character fades into chocolate, caramel and roast notes. The roaster lists tasting notes of Butterscotch, Baking Chocolate and Roasted Almond. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 3 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 9.0 out of 10 across 3 ratings.
