Review: Indonesian Bali Blue Moon Coffee

I recently got a coffee roaster as a gift. Which I love. So here is the first coffee review I will be doing.

Indonesian Balinese Krishna Blue Moon
Origin: Bali
Where can you find it: http://www.burmancoffee.com
Price per pound: $6.75

Here's what Burman said about this coffee:
"A very rich, clean, and smooth cup with a nice sweet orange chocolaty finish. Medium to full bodied with low acidity, a nice daily cup. Hints of a slight smoky tones can be found, especially in a darker roast. The orange citrus tone is what makes this cup exceptional, this is the only coffee we have had with that great flavor!"

I roasted this coffee to a medium dark roast, so about 25 min. A full dark roast is 30 min. This coffee is quite clean tasting, but also quite acidic. There are muted smoky tones, but the fruity-ness is stronger. I wouldn't add sugar to this brew as it's sweet already. The texture is smooth with a slight bite. I can't distinguish the orange tone, but I understand how is could be perceived as citrus. Overall, this coffee is bright with a smooth finish.
