Bomb Devil

Tasting notes

About this bean

Bomb Devil is a medium-light roast from Hatch, sourced from Colombia. It is prepared using the anaerobic method. Anaerobic processing ferments the cherries in oxygen-free conditions, which can amplify fruit and floral characteristics and produce a more pronounced, sometimes funky profile. Medium-light roasts keep most of the origin character while developing a little more sweetness through caramelisation. The roaster lists tasting notes of Cherry, Plum and Chocolate. 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 11 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 7.6 out of 10 across 11 ratings.
