You know when tasting notes say cryptic shit like "jammy dodger" but it really means something slightly less cryptic like "subtle notes of stone fruit and vanilla with a sweet finish and full mouth feel"?
Well... I had some beans roasted by Diego Bermudez and one of the notes said "haribo peach"... I was expecting something perhaps a little sweet, possibly tart... In actual fact, when brewing it, with my eyes closed, I would have bet my life I was smelling Haribo Peaches. Blew my mind. Bought another bag. It was magic.
I dunno if this is up anyone's street or it's excessive nerdery but if you're interested...
