I’m not gonna lie. When I first received the green beans and looked at it, I thought I got some old stale beans. They looked more yellow and brown than green. Then I went to roast it using FreshRoast sr800 with RazzoRoasting extension tube. There were a couple of way early cracks at 375F. I started to panic thinking I got it way too hot. Going by looks, it was already a darker brown color. But I stayed the course, judging by bean temp, bean loft and roast time, I was just fine. First crack roll at 400F at 9:08. Pulled it at 415F at 10:10. I let it rest for 3 weeks. Sampled it and WOW!!! Just brewing it and then the smell, you could tell it was gonna be special. Definitely candilicious! Medium body and a lot of sweetness. Love it!
