Creation 4 - Premium Culi

This is a coffee that uses Arabica and Robusta but also the somewhat rare varieties of Chari and Catimor. Since it is also an all-culi (unsplit bean) blend, it has the most complex and full-bodied flavor of the TN line. Generally not a coffee for people who like mellower coffees and Arabicas, this coffee gets a bite on if you brew it strong, which is exactly what some people prefer.

This is probably the favorite blend among Vietnamese-Americans, because they tend to like their coffee strong, dark, acidic and somewhat bitter, characteristics that are not only respected but preferred among people who are used to this type of flavor being what coffee is all about. When brewed at a tablespoon per cup it really doesn't seem all that strong, just very dark and a little acidic. But people who likes this blend best usually double up on the strength and go for brass ring.

When iced, the coffee can be poured hot directly over ice without tasting diluted. Some of the pungent flavors will leave a bitter aftertaste, but the initial flavor of each sip is highly aromatic and inviting.
