Today I’ve just started in to a bag of Chromatic Kunjin, tasting notes on the bag of “tart cherry / molasses vibes” seems true to my taste. It’s overall round, very juicy, and syrupy. This coffee looked especially red and velvety to me when ground, and quite low in chaff. I bought it from the discount shelf at the shop in San Jose, and was traveling around with it for a few days and it was filling the car with an irresistible aroma. Once home I had it frozen for about a month before thawing and now enjoying. Doesn’t seem too worse for wear!

Chromatic is my local roastery!! I really like their stuff.

The kunjin was great, I also just tried the kiruga and liked that too.

Great beans.

I've also wanted to try some of their more experimental beans (like the yeast fermented ones) but I'm not sure what to expect.

weirdly the image says guava/pineapple/wet process but my bag calls out “kindeng stn.” / dry process / natural. bit confusing to me there for coffee of the same major label.
