The Zabu Coffee House Blend uses a mix of Brazilian, Colombian and Costa Rican and is made from 100% Arabica beans. It is also a Rainforest Alliance certified coffee. More details of the beans origin can be found from Zabu Coffee.
Sniffing straight from the pouch the beans had a good strong
traditional coffee aroma with a gentle hint of acidity. They were light golden
brown with a beautiful iridescent sheen like a beetle.
On grinding there was not a huge difference to aroma and the
grounds had a almost woody texture.
After espressing (pressing?) the coffee had surprising little
aroma compared to the roasted whole beans but the flavour on tasting was all
there. On the first sip there was light tangy acidity on the front of the
pallet, as these faded it gave way to a pleasant, mild nutty hazelnut
aftertaste.
There was a pleasingly balanced sweetness throughout which
complimented the earlier acidity. Not overly rich in flavour the golden beans
had given out a medium bodied smooth tasting coffee with no bitterness or fuzziness
on the finish.
The Zabu Coffee House Blend is an extremely drinkable brew and one which I returned
to ravenously till the bag was gone. It presents a pleasing cumulation of flavours yet does not surprise with anything jarring or difficult to handle, all the way from the initial sip to the
glowing aftertaste.
A great everyday coffee and recommended as a solid
gateway blend for those new to real coffee.
