Picture this: It’s a crisp, sunny morning, and you are cradling a steaming mug of Obsessive Coffee Disorder coffee. As you inhale the aroma, you notice something - a hint of caramel, a whisper of cherry, a suggestion of almond. Welcome to the enchanting world of coffee flavor notes!
Let’s embark on a journey to demystify these notes. Coffee, much like wine, is a natural tapestry of flavors. These notes are not additives; they are the coffee bean’s own story, influenced by its homeland, the soil it sprouted in, the rain and sun that nurtured it.
Imagine a coffee bean as a globe-trotting adventurer. Beans from Ethiopia might bring stories of berries and citrus, while their Brazilian cousins share tales of chocolate and nuts. These are their flavor notes - their way of sharing their journey with us.
Now, you may be wondering, “Do they actually add cherries or almonds to the coffee?” The answer is a resounding no! It’s all about perception. Your taste buds and and olfactory senses interpret the bean’s natural compounds into familiar flavors. It’s a bit like smelling a rose and detecting a hint of sweetness - no sugar there, just nature’s own magic.
At Obsessive Coffee Disorder, we’re like the composers of this symphony. Our roasting process is the key. We play with heat and time to coax out the bean’s inner melodies. Too much, and the subtler notes are lost; too little, and they never awaken.
Here’s where our obsession pays off. Our beans, roasted fresh to order in Hendersonville, TN, are like no other. We ensure they’re smooth, flavorful, never bitter - just bursting with their unique stories. So, next time you enjoy our coffee, listen closely. What story does it tell? Is it a tale of sunny Ethiopian highlands, or of rich Brazilian terrain?
Get obsessed with us, and savor the stories hidden in every cup.
