I used James Hoffmann's French press technique. So this is a full sized bag because they had a good sale on it and I decided to risk it for the biscuit.

So I got tons of green apple on the nose from the fresh grounds. Once it was brewed the raspberry showed up in a sort of jammy way and the green apple took back seat and lost the perception of acidity and became more of a regular apple for me. On the palate the fruit became sort of a generic fruit and the star was a nice sweet nuttiness. I'm guessing this is what they are calling cola candy on their tasting notes but absent spice and citrus it just doesn't trigger as cola (candy or otherwise) for me. All and all a very pleasant cup of coffee.

Tinker continues to leave me satisfied though to date my favorite offering of theirs remains the Jorge Rojas as cherry and chocolate are just hard too beat for my tastes. I swear one of these days I'll get around to trying another roaster.

Where do you get this? It sounds super interesting

I ordered it online (linky). They have flate rate shipping in the US and sample sizes if you don't want to commit to a full sized bag. They also have a few locations in Indianapolis (two coffee shops and the roastery itself) where you can buy bags too if you want to avoid shipping but I've never been to any of them.

Nice! Then you!!

If you like the fruity Costa Rican beans, I can also recommend a roaster that I buy from (they're local to me, so I can just grab bags at a farmers market). Gigawatt Costa Rican Tarrazu

The tasting notes drew an audible, "Oooh." from me. I'll have to keep them in mind.
