The Drink: Memoria DeNossa

My Review
With the aromas of chocolate and raspberry coming out of the bag things were off to a good start.
The smell of chocolate became more intense after I ground the coffee for my french press.
As I waited for the brewed coffee to cool I noticed the aroma of paprika.
The first sip was surprisingly ashy and no other flavors were detectible. It was pretty much what I would expect at the average diner.
In the mouth, the DeNossa had a nice feel — thick, syrupy, with a heavy body. That was its only redeeming characteristic. The body of the coffee kept the sensation in the mouth for a bit but there was no aftertaste, no flavor. A slight tingle of acidity was the only other coffee-like characteristic.
You can order DeNossa Coffee online from the Operation Elephant website for $34.00 for a package of three 16 oz. bags.
Final Score
Operation Elephant and their coffee earned 2.5 out of 5 on the Daily Shot of Coffee scale. If you are interested in being part of something larger than your morning cup, give it a try. If on the other hand you are more interested in what is in your morning cup, I would
