Devoción
1.1:
I bought their whole beans for the first time for a personal use. I have visited their Flatiron location a few times over the course of past few years. The Flatiron location is conveniently located near subway stops and Madison Sq. Park, where you can bring your coffee on a stroll. The 12 oz. bag I purchased is 100% Colombian: Wild Forest ($17 + tax).
1.2:
The major aroma/taste notes I got are: berries, black cherries, hints of butter and chocolate.
Hario V60: the aroma of wild berries, and the taste of buttery chocolate.
Espresso: Dark fruits and berries kick off the initial taste; then, chocolaty sweetness smoothly rounds off the tasting journey.
1.3:
The chocolaty flavor increases as the beans reach their prime time. If I could visually depict a cup of Devoción’s Wild Forest, I may say it can transport you to a field of wild berries. On a chilly day like today, I had a glimpse of Spring with a shot of espresso.
1.4:
For this particular bag, I did not brew with Chemex. I don’t know which characteristics will be significantly brought out, but I can say that it will be another delicious cup of coffee.
2.1: tl;dr
If you enjoy fruty and buttery chocolate notes, you will be very satisfied with Wild Forest from Devoción no matter what brewing method you use.
