The name “French Mocha” is refers to a French style of roasting coffee dark and the word “Mocha/ Moka” refers to coffee port in Yemen.
We use a blend of beans from Costa Rica & Ethiopia.
The Roast
I choose to roast each component separately due to the vast different in bean density and size between the two coffee. The Ethiopian coffee took a lot of energy to get going and produced a rich, creamy milk chocolate like fragrance, while the Costa Rican beans took in the heat much easier and had some interesting notes of toffee and dark caramel.
Cupping Note
Visually the beans has a nice gloss, sign of dark roasted beans. It has a full rounded body with taste of toffee, dates & cacao.
Enjoy!
