One of the first coffees that I ended up buying green was the Aged Sumatra grade one lintong from Sweet Marias. I roasted it as dark as my little Nesco would let me, and ended up being blown away by the taste. There is a strong tobbacco under current in this coffee that makes me miss my good old smoking days as well as the flavors of chocolate and licorice. I liked this coffee so much that I wound up buying a two pound bag of it as soon as I ran out, which of course caused me to tire of the taste after a while. But now, it has been a few months, and i once again yearn for the taste, so I have gotten myself another bag of this stuff ( some of which I plan to send to some friends to try)

Certain things, such as wine and cheese, tend to taste better when aged. Coffee is not necessarily on the same playing field, yet certain types of green coffee fare well if they are aged with care. However, if the coffee is “aged” by letting it sit around to mold, it will usually come out tasting bad or “baggy” as the seem to want to call it in the coffee tasting world. While trying aged coffee can be a bad experience, this 2005 aged sumatra is anything but. It is a great cup that deserves to be explored.
