I'm a pound and a half into a 5 pound bag of Congo Kivu Bukavu-Beni from Sweet Maria's.

We really like this bean...then I looked at the short description and I notice part of the "flavor profile description" is Fresh Tobacco. That's a first for me

^ that sounds delicious!

I honestly don't remember what I toasted on Monday. I didn't keep notes of this bag this time. It was part of a Sweet Maria's special. Good stuff though.

Today I am roasting a pound of Rwanda Nyamasheke. I'll take this one right through first crack.

The flavor notes from Sweet Maria's describe this one as having "natural sugar sweetness, saturated black tea note, subtle fruit tones." I have three more pounds of this one and then my 20 lbs from the African bean special are done.

These African beans have been surprising. I generally expect bright floral/fruit flavors. This special illuminated beans that are different from what I considered the norm for Africa. The one I roasted yesterday has been my favorite of this batch.

My favorite bean was one I roasted 3 years ago when I started. I don't have the name, but I don't know if it matters. The coffee tasted a bit like graham crackers. It was like having a donut with your coffee... without the donut!

For reference I use a Behmor to roast.

Roasted a batch of Colombian Supremo today in the Behmor. Did this one out in the garage, instead of the basement. Had to use a heavy duty extension cord, which may have robbed it of power. It was a 13.3oz batch, used P2, C and added a minute. It started first crack around 1:40 left. After cool down it still looked really light to me. I read once in the Behmor forum about double roasting. Figured what the heck. Cleaned it out, set back up and ran on P1, A for another 10:30. Color is nice and chocolate brown. Smells good. We'll see in a couple days.

I roasted a lb of Guatemala Huehuetenango El Turbante. Half roasted to full city plus, half over roasted to light vienna. Should make for a decent espresso. I've never had a blend of different roasts so I'm excited to try it.

Today I'll be roasting a pound of Columbia Tiana de Huila from Sweet Marias. The description says Malted caramel-vanilla, brown sugar, plum, and raisin. Viscous cup, notes of cinnamon and milk chocolate.

Sounds like a hearty cup! I'll be happy to be done with the Guatemala Huehuetenango El Turbante I over roasted. I didn't get into this to produce Charbucks flavored coffee =/.

Back at roasting the India Monsooned Malabar to full city.

Question to anyone who roasts this bean: Have you ever taken it to Vienna? If so, how do you like it vs. Full City?

I have some of the Yemen Mokah on the way. Igot the India Monsooned about 2-3 years ago and did not like it no matter how it was roasted. I tried FC thru Vienna. I did not try lighter though. Probably should have. I gave it away. Just no my tastes I guess. I have not found many that I don't like.
