Tasting notes

About this bean

Bali T&R is a medium-light roast from Toasted and Roasted. It is prepared using the natural method. Natural processing dries the bean inside the whole cherry, which often imparts fruit-forward sweetness and a heavier body. Results can vary widely between farms. Medium-light roasts keep most of the origin character while developing a little more sweetness through caramelisation. The roaster lists tasting notes of Strawberry, black cherrynutmeg. 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 10 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 7.0 out of 10 across 10 ratings.
