Asian coffees tend to be earthier and darker than most other blends. Unlike the universally liked and known Central American and South American coffees, the unfamiliar beans from Asia tend to inspire extreme opinions: either complete love or absolute dislike.

The beans are less acidic, more complex and, at times, even savory. Asian coffees are most known for having the most curves. They are full bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel. These coffees are smooth, dense, and exotic with dark chocolate, bold nuttiness, and subtle earthy tones.
