Not as good as the Kilenso but still solid

Floral, sweet, clean, balanced

I love the lightness of this coffee that makes it easy to drink and refreshing. A floral arrangement of flavors hit your palate with a lingering sweetness that ties everything together. I can understand why some people might not enjoy the "tea-like" feel because the coffee is so light and airy, but I think it makes for a refreshing cup especially as we head into the Summer months.

Coava hit it on the nose for me with this one. Typically I lean toward fruity coffees with big berry profiles, but the nuance and sweetness of this one really impressed me. Like a mid-morning tea with a healthy dose of honey I found its profile easy to drink with a velvety mouthfeel. What a treat!

I love African coffees. The more the better.

Tea like with rose and jasmine notes. I got dessert with honey, vanilla, caramel and a dusting of light chocolate. Subtle citrus in the finish.

Very enjoyable coffee with very light flavour. Smells and tastes very much like black tea. Would, however, enjoy something with a stronger flavour next shipment.

This coffee is different than a number of others I have brewed fro the Kochere region. It needs it's rest time since brewing it a couple days post roast resulted in a cup with no character. At about 5 days post-roast, black tea and raisins come to mind. Preferable as a chemex brew compared to the kalita wave.

I really like this coffee. It feels really classic and comforting. I think I'm ready for something a little more wild. I just got the KRUVE, which has led to a lot more consistency in the extraction, but it's also made the flavor palate feel less complex. I might change my flavor profile!

Awesome coffee in body and has a wonderful complexity that changes with every cup. 195 degrees on the water and kalita or v60 or chemex all work well. My favorite cups have come out of the 1 cup v60. Has an awesome depth and great aroma.

Very nice coffee. Taste is somewhat muted, but there's just enough going on (subtle floral notes, a bit of chocolate) to be a very pleasant cup of coffee.

While there's nothing to dislike about this coffee, there isn't much to love. It's rather muted and not very interesting.

Like the last coffee I had, pretty prominent tea notes, which are not my favorite but nice to be in the mix of coffees I receive. Clean cup, no bitterness in Chemex. NIce aftertaste. Overall pretty nice cup, but not my fav in flavor profiles.

Solid coffee as all Coava's are but a somewhat boring taste profile. Very smooth, just a tiny nuttiness on the finish at that was it.

Delicate flavors are too light. Rose and black tea are all I can taste without careful attention.
7/7/2016
This was a very interesting bean because it honestly tasted quite a bit like tea! A tad too delicate for my tastes, as another reviewer pointed out, but I still enjoyed it.

This was average for me. I could drink this one semi often but it still kind of reminded me of the Kenya Kabiruini which I didn't like that much.
3/5/2016
Coffee was a little too light for my tastes. This was really tea like with light fruity notes. I got orange and lemon front my kalita wave.
3/2/2016
Tried this coffee in Chemex, Kalita, and V60 - never could make it very good
2/24/2016
Good but I definitely preferred the previous coffee. Maybe I'd prefer it to be a bit more aromatic.
The more I drink of this-- the less I like it.

It was a little bit too light for me. Didn't seem to translate to a french press imo

Solid roast. Couva is always dependable.

Love this coffee. Wonderful aroma, smooth, multi-layered taste.

Very light....almost tea-like.
1/29/2016
Clean, soft floral notes. Leaning towards juicy melon, and berries.

Too tea-like. Not enough coffee flavor.

Excellent. Their packaging makes it a little harder to keep it fresh but the coffee is excellent.
10/25/2015
This coffee is good, but almost too delicate. The black tea and rose blossom make the experience like drinking tea instead of coffee.
