Bahār

While I do stand by all of what I said in my previous review , i do have some new findings to share.I often leave one last dose of coffee in the bag before i move on to my next coffee so I can come back to them for a quick refresh and usually the coffee doesn't change much[since i rest them for atleast 2.5 weeks before I move on] but Bahar after coming back to it after 4 weeks , was much easier to dial in to a point where it had both a bright critic acidity and most of its uncous sweetness that I loved so much from my very first cup . An easy recommendation to anyone who enjoys a clean but balanced cup of coffee , solid 4.5/5

This coffee is damn delicious. It is so friggin' sweet, it's unreal. A very prominent cane like sweetness that gets sweeter as the coffee cools. It really is an enigma how a cup of coffee can be so sweet with zero added sugars.

A very sweet coffee given character by its mild but pleasantly rounded citric acidity. Great for those getting into light roasts for the first time though its tea-like body may be a set back to some. That said, this coffee might be a bit TOO sweet for my tastes. It comes off as a darker roast than last years arabhi which really contributes to the added sweetness but makes it so that its hard to make its crisp citrus acidity the star of the show , it always takes a bit of a back sweet to its sweetness unless you intentionally underextract which is a pleasant cup but lacks even more body and has the sweetness taper off significantly. Its secondary flavour note of dried apricot isn't as pleasant or complimentary to its citric acidity when compared to last years arabhi whose mild jasmine note really accentuated the coffees sweetness and acidity making them all the more enjoyable . That said this is still a great washed coffee to get , especially when compared to what most other roasters are offering at a similar price , that said , I know this isn't the peak of what Akshay is capable of doing with washed coffees. This 4 star comes more from a place of admiration than contempt

With aeropress it is very good, good mouthfeel, no harshness, sweet and delicious
