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.

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

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.

Pretty nice shots with amazing crema. With a little more boldness, would have been 5 star.

Just ok as french press/drip coffee, but quite good as espresso

Always good. It's the Capitol of coffees

Berry notes are too strong for my tastes. After taste was a little sour as well. Need to stick with more Earthy flavors.

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.

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.
