Coffee Story
Description
This is the Alchemistic Blend brought to you by Portola Coffee Roasters. This blend is a combination of coffees produced by farmers throughout Cauca, Colombia, and the Imperio Rojo farm in Chirripo, Costa Rica. This blend has become a staple in the Portola Coffee Lab line-up. It's a more developed coffee to create a full-bodied coffee experience with distinct notes of baker's chocolate, dried fruit, toasted almonds and spice.

Likes this one a lot. It was smooth and full and could taste the choloclateyness

Really nice flavors

Not bad at all. This is a nice cup of coffee. It doesn't blow me away, but it's very good.

Loved the notes of chocolate and the aroma of this brew! Not too acidic and easy to drink.
11/28/2017
Nutty and chocolatey without being dark roasted, great balance of acidity. Yum.

This has been my favorite so far! Not too acidic and works well in my press with my flavored creamer that I don't want to give up :). Great choice!!!!

This was my favorite so far!
2/1/2017
Wonderful coffee with a deep rich weight. Nice combination of subtle chocolate and fruity flavors that do not overpower. I ground and enjoyed a cup each morning I had these beans.

Just fair. Rather bitter. Would NOT get again.
1/28/2017
Smelled good, tasted good. Very smooth.
1/24/2017
The flavor is a little too syrupy for me.
1/22/2017
This is a strong flavored coffee with a lot of baker's chocolate.

Best coffee I have received! Perfect mix of brightness and body. Notes of chocolate. Delicious.
11/18/2016
Semi-sweet with chocolatey and spicy notes. I brewed with a Chemex.
10/27/2016
It's ok..just some bitter notes.
9/24/2016
just okay. not particularly "sweet" tasting - a little bitter in fact or acidic.
8/30/2016
Very smooth coffee. When brewing with inverted method on a Aeropress, the froth was very nice. Mild flavor, so only lacked some in the taste department, but very smooth and usable. No upset stomach.
8/23/2016
Very smooth and non-confrontational. Enjoyable morning cup, but lacked the pizzazz to become a new favorite.
8/22/2016
This coffee was good, but a little too acidic for me!
8/9/2016
Chocolate and baking spices balance the coffee. Tastes of fine dark chocolate, but smells of cloves and almonds.
5/14/2016
LOVE THIS COFFEE! I can see why it has won awards! So smooth and light. Not bitter at all. Definitely would want this again
5/2/2016
Good, but I could not detect the notes of almond and spice.
3/6/2016
all around good.
1/12/2016
Wonderful. The perfect blend of spices. Nothing is overpowering - the balance is just right. No need to destroy this perfect cup with sugar, creamer, or syrups.
12/23/2015
Nice coffee, good aroma with a nice taste
12/20/2015
balanced, nutty flavor
11/17/2015
Pretty good but hard to pick up any distinctive tasting notes (for me anyway)
9/16/2015
I immediately was hit with hints of cigars, mushrooms and earthiness when I open the pouch. The beans were sort of medium brown in color and not oily. The taste was almost sweet and a bit acidic, far from roasty or bold. I prefer a little more balance and boldness, but still a nice change to try this blend.
8/19/2015
Comforting and sweet. The kind of cup to sip and share on a cool summer morning!
8/10/2015
Rich and smooth cup off coffee but couldn't quite taste the almond tasting note.
8/6/2015
Loved it. Chocolaty, caramel taste with hints of almond nutty flavor. Mildly fruity
8/4/2015
Alchemistic is a local favorite, super great coffee.
8/4/2015
There is fruit, but it's not overwhelming. The Sumatra is there, but is kept in check by the Brazil. Pretty decent go-to daily blend.
8/2/2015
This coffee was so well balanced. I tasted almonds and caramel that got sweeter and more pronounced as it cooled. Excellent
6/27/2015
Good solid coffee. I am not a huge fan of almond notes myself, but the caramel really brought it together
6/18/2015
Good but I would choose the Epiphany over this one. :)
6/15/2015
Great flavors, smooth
6/14/2015
I found it on the milder side.
6/2/2015
Rich and delicious.
