This is exactly like their Jairo Arcila (remember cherry balsam, gin and herbal meds like flavours) and, hence I call this as Jairo Arcila 2 on steroids! 😁
Their description on the bag reads as follows:
Funky coffee, boozy, bracing. Raisins, Cough Syrup, Cherry Cola. Expect heavily fragrant, acidic and boozy coffee. Finish is bracing and little sharp than sweet. With milk, it is an adventurous cup.
I would say spot on. The coffee is smooth, balanced and nice to drink with a pleasant fruity acidity. You get a sharp finish as in herbal medicine (they state cough syrup) as the finish is both a tad bitter and sweet, which linger for a while. It is fizzy and boozy as well. The aroma is also fruity and boozy; you get these as soon as the bag is opened!
Be warned! It is not for every one. It is like Mermite.
17.1g, 40.3g out, 91C/97C, and the total shot time was just under 20s. I already tightened the grind to the lower end of the espresso range. It requires further tightening. I might tamp a little harder for the next shot before tightening further.
