This week I've done the following: 600g blend of PNG Blue Batak/Ethiopian Yirg 600g blend of Columbian Water Processed Decaf and Daterra Estate Sweet natural low-caf 600 SO of Finca Liquidambar The first I forgot about and found it just starting second crack. Thankfully we had high winds and freezing temps as I think it slowed it down just enough. The second two roasts went down so easy it's not funny. The decaf/low-caf blend seems to be just about the easiest roast out there, really hard to get that one wrong. Always even, roasts for about the same duration as my full-strength beans and tastes great. The Finca Liquidambar was an unknown. I'd gotten it off BeanGreen because it was on special. It too roasted supremely easily, pulling at 2C at 23mins(!) but for a gloriously even roast. Too early to tell about either, but I'd run out of beans so drinking them anyway. Even through the 'thinness' of these first couple of days, there's some really nice flavours developing in there. Can't wait to find out the final result.
