Wonderful coffee. Great as straight espresso & as cappuccino as well. Smooth & flavorful.

Too light for my taste

Floral fruity espresso on the nose, buttery rich, hint of nuts as a cappuccino. It was near impossible to sink a shot. For the first time, I really liked- no loved, an organic coffee. This whole time I've been thinking that I may have been conditioned to enjoy the taste of pesticides. This coffee proves that wrong. It's not just "delicious for an organic coffee", but a delicious coffee period. As an added bonus, when USPS failed to update, the roasters were on top of it and automatically sent another bag straight away to make sure I got my coffee. Thus, I got to enjoy this twice. Definitely one that I would recommend and would purchase again!

Outstanding! Love this espresso as well as any I have tried and I have tasted many.
2/19/2019
Very aromatic, mild taste. Kind of a chocolate-berry taste. Nice! None of the harshness or bitterness of some of the other samples recently.

Not as good as the Sweetheart San Marcos
11/5/2018
Good balanced cup. I used mostly pour over, but also in a press. The best results came when using a hario woodneck. No exiting notes, but a very good cup of coffee.

I don't see that "ripe berry"
Strong morning espresso, and flat to my taste

Pretty nice shots with amazing crema. With a little more boldness, would have been 5 star.
4/2/2018
Just ok as french press/drip coffee, but quite good as espresso
3/26/2018
Always good. It's the Capitol of coffees
3/1/2018
Berry notes are too strong for my tastes. After taste was a little sour as well. Need to stick with more Earthy flavors.
2/16/2018
The ripe berry is really pronounced on this espresso. It's the first and last thing you taste. The dark chocolate is a bit too bitter and lacks the sweetness that would have given this a 5. It might be my burr dulling, but I had a tough time pulling it right. I added a gram or 2 more than usual at 20g, slightly more coarse. Great espresso and will not hesitate to buy it again.
10/28/2017
The profile was slightly bland. No big base or sweetness to cut through milk. I followed the roaster's brewing parameters and was able to dial it in to get between 19 - 20% extraction rates but it just didnt shine. The acidic notes tasted 'roasty' and with it being a lighter roast it was not something I would expect.
