We stopped at T. S. Smith on the way home from our quick getaway to Berlin (Maryland, not Germany), so (of course) I had to pick up a bag of Amity beans while we were there. I’ve had a few single-origin roasts from Amity, but to date, have yet to try the same roast twice, so this Tanzania Peaberry was new to me. I recently finished a bag from another roaster, so I brewed these using the same parameters, and the two taste quite similar. The mouthfeel is smooth, acidity is low, and I didn’t notice a ton of fruitiness — although if experience is any indicator, that will start to come out as the beans age. Since this is only a half-pound bag, I’ll probably alternate brewing it with something else, just so I don’t go through it too quickly.
