Blind Assessment
This coffee provoked an unenviable list of drab adjectives: muddy (the favorite), grassy, neutral, ashy, rubber-like. Four panelists labeled the aftertaste "baggy," a term describing a flat, ropey sensation that usually indicates faulty conditioning or storage. Whatever its origin, the defect here overpowers the coffee.
Notes
This coffee performed poorly in the review, eliciting adjectives such as muddy, grassy, baggy, ashy, and rubber-like. Originally reviewed by a panel as a green coffee. NA
