Coffee Story
Description
This is the Blue Orchid Blend brought to you by Huckleberry Roasters. Huckleberry changes the components of this blend frequently, but they always try to maintain a sweet, full bodied, chocolate and caramel flavor profile by using Central and South American coffees specifically chosen for those qualities. This is great tasting comfort coffee and is a well-rounded crowd pleaser, it tastes great on its own or even with a bit of milk. Great for all brewing methods including espresso.

Great!
1/31/2020
Some days it was awesome, but it easily leaned towards a little more bitter than I like if I was off on the amount of half and half. On most days it was great, though!
1/31/2020
This needed a shorter shot time than I would have thought given the roast. After adjusting the grind, I found the sweet spot (literally) at 23 seconds with a 1:1.5 ratio. Anything longer than that and I would loose the caramel notes.
1/15/2020
This was actually pretty good. A little bolder than others sent.
12/18/2019
Loved, loved. loved.
12/15/2019
Too Bland for my taste
12/15/2019
This was one of the better tasting coffees I've received on Mistobox. I really enjoyed this one. Great pick!
12/14/2019
Possibly the absolute best beans ever.
12/13/2019
Solid coffee. A bit too light for my taste.
12/13/2019
Subtle nuttiness on the finish. Very middle of the road flavor. Not bad but nothing extraordinary. We prefer more complexity in our roasts.
12/9/2019
boring flavor
12/8/2019
Very well balanced. Reminded me that good coffee doesn't have to be weird.
12/7/2019
One of my favorite coffees I've ever tried.
12/4/2019
A good cup of joe. I enjoyed how the coffee lent itself to adding my preferred creamer. Good body. Woodsy.
12/4/2019
Easy drinking, earthy tones, would probably drink again
12/1/2019
This might just be the best coffee I’ve ever had. If not, it’s a really really good one. Balanced flavor. Not burnt tasting or too nutty. Really really yummy.
11/30/2019
Liked this Huck coffee a lot.
11/27/2019
Pretty good espresso, lacking a bit of depth compared to the Orion.
11/24/2019
Very tasty right up my ally flavor wise
11/19/2019
Not a fan. A bit too acidic/tangy tasting for my liking.
11/12/2019
Good but I think I would prefer something lighter
11/3/2019
Meh. This coffee didn't "stand out" to me. It's a little watery, the flavor notes aren't highly perceptible. It's an ok coffee. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.
10/31/2019
i liked this one! my husband would like a smoother not as full bodied but i enjoyed it.
10/29/2019
Excellent and balanced coffee. Dark but not overpowering.
10/27/2019
Excellent flavor for espresso, one of my favorites.
10/26/2019
Solid bag of coffee. Easily consumed and smooth.
10/24/2019
Nice rich and smooth flavor, just as described on bag.
10/24/2019
Good flavor profile - a little subtler and lighter than I usually prefer, but it was an easy drinker.
10/9/2019
It was fantastic! I'm looking for a bit more variety in my flavors, though, I'd like some stuff that isn't chocolate or nutty, if possible!
9/28/2019
Love the undertones. Just a tad weak.
9/28/2019
My favorite thus far!
9/21/2019
Really enjoyed this coffee's balance of flavors. The chocolate really came through especially with the finish. The caramel added a good amount of sweetness.
9/21/2019
I found the flavor to be a little too light-flat-watery
9/16/2019
One note, kinda plain, espresso was well rounded but not extrodaniry
9/8/2019
It wasn’t awful but just to bland for me
9/1/2019
Loved it!
9/1/2019
A competent coffee that aims for traditional flavors associated with dark roast on a medium level. The balance is pretty much all chocolate and roasted nuts with no nuance. The caramel at times for unknown reasons left a sour note as temperature dropped. All around it is a medium roast trying to mask flavors as a dark roast. I’d rather drink a dark roast (which I don’t usually enjoy).
8/25/2019
good pour, but not as memorable or distinctive as I would hope
7/31/2019
Chocolate notes but would like something a little lighter
7/27/2019
Hints of chocolate but smooth and creamy with caramel notes, brought out by a splash of half and half. Bright blend
7/2/2019
Just a smidge bitter. Perhaps the roast was a little off. Not my favorite but o.k. with cream.
7/1/2019
Nice espresso blend. Just as the description describes.
6/25/2019
Excellent, love it
6/23/2019
Very good, sweet and complex
6/14/2019
Love it!
6/12/2019
Excellent blend. Love the rich flavor with chocolate and caramel notes.
6/1/2019
Flavors were too subtle, and the coffee lacked body.
6/1/2019
Loving this. 18g, 35ml. served as a gibraltar. Sweet, balanced espresso goodness.
3/21/2019
Loved this one! I tend to enjoy anything Huckleberry does! They are alway solid!
3/1/2019
I’m not very good at describing coffee. This wasn’t my favorite but not sure why. Maybe it’s too dark or too acidic. It’s not as smooth as I like.
2/16/2019
Fantastic Coffee! Loved the caramel notes. It makes for a great espresso as well
2/4/2019
I found this coffee to be true to its description. It was well-balanced with a stronger sense of chocolate than caramel, but still a very nice flavor to start my day. I do prefer a lighter roast this time of year. I very much look forward to my next shipment.
10/23/2018
This one is fantastic, I don't think I've had one this good since Metric Coffee. It is super well balanced, awesome flavor, and it's not overpowering. I would buy this again.
8/9/2018
Loved the full-bodied flavor and the hint of chocolate. Very easy drinking cup.
7/12/2018
Pulled a little dark for my liking. Tasted better on milk drinks than it did straight
7/3/2018
good flavor
5/27/2018
A good kind of boring. Not exactly bland, but subtle enough to have black
5/23/2018
Great well-balanced coffee. Love the flavor.
5/7/2018
Mellow, smooth flavor. Almost sweet, reminiscent of milk chocolate.
4/27/2018
I liked this a lot
4/9/2018
Way to dark for pour overs / drip.
3/25/2018
I really enjoyed it! Very bright and sweet
2/27/2018
a little empty, would prefer something richer in flavor
2/4/2018
Coffee was okay. Still trying to find that acidity I like.
1/29/2018
Good but a little more boring than the last one. For the last one I could really taste the blueberry - but of course this is a different type of coffee.
1/11/2018
I think for the next coffee can we have it a little less chocolaty? All three that you have selected are pretty chocolaty. We really Guatemalan coffee, usually pretty light roast. Ruby is our favorite roastery.
12/12/2017
Fine to good. I changed my coffee to water ratio slightly (fixed it, really) and it made a big difference.
12/4/2017
I'll try to break this down into a few categories: Branding, Roast, Taste.
Branding: 4 out of 5
- Clean and bright! Catchy business name and a cool name for a blend.
Roast Quality: 3 out of 5
- Found a few quakers and a little unevenness in the roast. This could be because of the blend.
Taste: 2 out of 5
- We felt that the Blue Orchid Blend didn't have a "thing" to call its own. No distinguishable aspect of the blend was able to shine through. Perhaps this is due to the roast or the beans chosen for the blend. Maybe this coffee was a little too "well-rounded" to be considered unique.

It wasn't bad but wasn't amazing. Probably a little darker than I prefer. But my husband liked it a lot.
9/19/2017
a little darker than i expected
9/5/2017
Loved this one! It smells amazing and tastes fantastic! It's mellow but not meek. It's got great flavor! I am usually a sugar in my coffee kind of girl and I didn't even need sugar for this one. So good!
7/24/2017
DELICIOUS !!!
7/24/2017
Definitely am able to pick up on some chocolaty velvety notes in this coffee. Delicious pulling shots with this coffee but handles the pour over game as well.
7/16/2017
It was alright. nothing interesting.
6/24/2017
Smooth, full bodied coffee.
6/22/2017
Very flavorful cup. Lighter than I expected but still a good chocolate sweet taste.
5/23/2017
This is one had my ideal balance of flavors and rich body.
4/26/2017
Wasn't great as espresso, but was fine as filter coffee. I preferred it on v60 vs Chemex as some of the oils lost in the Chemex filter helped the mouthfeel, in my opinion.
4/20/2017
Nice chocolate notes and a dry finish
4/9/2017
Amazing. The best I've recieved so far.
3/30/2017
Well balanced coffee but is a more in the medium roast range. Probably would be a great espresso, but I mainly do manual brewing so lighter roasts "pop" more.
3/22/2017
Nice full body. Bold but round in flavor. Nothing crazy but definitely well balanced and I think this is a blend that meets the desires of the average American coffee drinker. I consider this a blend well done.
3/16/2017
Made great espresso. French press was just ok.
3/7/2017
Full bodied yet light. Really like
1/25/2017
We found this coffee to be better suited to a pour over brew, instead of our usual French press brewing method of choice. It was light and easy on the palette, yet lacked depth and full flavor to be more than mediocre. We did taste hints of caramel, but not wowed by this particular roast.
12/30/2016
Good body, with silky feel.
11/30/2016
Smooth and mellow. Perfect for todays rainy day. Adds a nice bit of diversity to our list of favorites so far.
10/31/2016
Balanced. Strong chocolate tone.
9/4/2016
Great cup of coffee. Very well balanced while still able to taste the subtleties and flavors of the beans. Earthy, chocolate, nutty
8/21/2016
This one slowly grew on me. At first, I thought it a little bland, although slightly improved in French press. But over time the beans mellowed a little more and I'm getting a nice caramely cup.
8/17/2016
Brews well. All round good balance and long lasting flavor. Not my favorite, but still a good roast.
7/26/2016
light and nutty
7/25/2016
Very mild, slightly sweet
7/17/2016
My favorite so far! Smooth without any bitterness-love love love it!
7/11/2016
Our favorite coffee so far! We loved it!!
7/9/2016
Best one yet! I really love this coffee and I must have more!
7/8/2016
Just okay as a cold brew. Have yet to try it V60 or aeropress.
7/5/2016
Pretty average. Not bad, not amazing.
6/30/2016
Kind of bland but well balanced.
5/28/2016
Super Good Coffee. My favorite so far!
5/6/2016
Tried a few different methods: Chemex, french press, but none of them seemed able to pull out the flavors promised.
4/27/2016
Delicious! Very tasty!
4/27/2016
Can't say that we cared for this one too much. I actually thought it tasted slightly burnt.
4/19/2016
Brewing via French Press was the perfect suggestion. It was crazy how much the flavor changed. Very good coffee.
4/15/2016
The grind was a little more dense than other coffees which made preparing the espresso a little tougher, but when my shots were on, the caramel and chocolate notes prevailed. I would buy this again.
4/14/2016
I made this using a pour over method as I don't have a french press or espresso machine. Overall a decent cup of coffee, bold with a lot of flavor.
4/13/2016
This was a good cup of coffee. Pretty typical though, nothing spectacular about it, but it was a nice coffee to have to start my day.
4/5/2016
Too weak for me
4/4/2016
This is a great coffee. I was a little pensive because the label says it's an "espresso" roast and to use a "little cream", which isn't really my style any more. It's surprisingly balanced for these notes on the package. I've done an Aeropress 16g coffee :: 240g water..and Hario V60 30g :: 480g water...both brew up quite nicely.
3/19/2016
Good all around coffee. Brighter than I expected but that was welcomed. Otherwise true to its description.
3/18/2016
I really enjoyed this bean...bright and citrus yet had underlying caramel and chocolate nuances, excellent mouth feel and aftertaste.
3/18/2016
I made it with my Aeropress as double espresso. It was so-so as an espresso but OK when I used it for Americano.
3/16/2016
A fine cup, but not for me. Chalky maybe?
3/13/2016
Great coffee. I did however notice it would cause the milk in my latte to go flat, or lose its volume/head.....never had a problem with that before
2/26/2016
Really enjoyed this!
2/25/2016
Freaking amazing. Love pretty much everything about these beans.
2/11/2016
Very well balanced and no bitterness
2/7/2016
was disappointed with this coffee. Sorry did not care for his one.
1/21/2016
toasty, cocoa flavor but a bit acidic
1/17/2016
It's really good, smooth. I like the caramel notes.
1/16/2016
Excellent! Very balanced, sweet and chocolaty. I am also picking up some kind of a sweet spice note. I really enjoyed it as espresso with just a little steamed milk! *pulled from a La Pavoni Romantica
12/12/2015
Of the three I received, this is my favorite.
12/8/2015
Nice cup of coffee. Still doesn't beat Cleavon Little Topeca, but I I like it!
10/24/2015
Wonderful!!!
10/23/2015
I really like this blend by Huckleberry roasters. It is very rich and complex. Definitely best brewed strongly or as expresso.
10/21/2015
Delicious! Perfect in every way! From the blend, to the roasting, to the packaging. I love the resealable bag and the roasting date. My new favorite espresso.
