At only 2 1/2 days rest, I love this coffee.
This coffee is soft, sweet, clean, clear, crisp and enticing.
The aroma is honeyed to the point of relaxing, contrasted with enough spice to keep you alert with anticipation.
At first there is white grape, very present, but not biting, and soon accompanied by a mouth-watering perception of pear. The fruit fades and leaves an inviting floral aspect reminiscent of the bouquet of wild honeysuckle.
Anticipation rewarded ...

In the Cup - Brazil Jacu Bird Coffee
My first cup of this coffee was rested for 2.5 days and brewed in the Technivorm with Swissgold filter. Same method for each of the ensuing days.
This is a really nice, smooth, pleasing cup of coffee. The term that Tom (of Sweet Maria's) used, "dusty sweetness" is a very apt description and there is a really pleasing suggestion of milk chocolate too. There is the "drying" hint of peanut in the aftertaste and aroma, but not
astringent. The aftertaste is long, and very pleasant. As the days progressed, it developed the slightest peppery hint. A nicely balance, very enjoyable cup of coffee.
My co-workers had been waiting for me to bring it to work so that they could try it. I brought a Thermos of it to work with me each day for sharing and it was unanimous. Everyone knew beforehand what the deal was with the coffee and there was only two people who would not try the coffee. Of all those that tried the coffee (about a dozen or so), everyone agreed that it was a very nice, balanced, enjoyable cup of coffee with a great lingering aftertaste.
