Coffee Story
Description
This is the Terra Incognita Espresso Blend brought to you by Portola Coffee Roasters. Portola sources fresh coffee throughout the year, which means as their seasonal coffee line-up changes, so must their espresso blend. This iteration is a blend of a natural coffee from Ethiopia and a washed coffee from Colombia grown between 1,700 and 2,100 meters. This cup is complex with floral aromatics, red fruit and dried stone fruit in the high notes and chocolate and caramel lingering in the finish.

This would be an Excellent espresso for those who like a bit lighter of roast. I'm not a fan of the acidity that this coffee offers. But, for it not to my liking as much, I still thought it was pretty good for what it was.

Pretty good coffee, wish it was a little darker.

Excellent coffee. This bag was really well roasted. I did have to work at it to get a good shot of espresso. Good flavors of Raspberry, cherry, and chocolate when in milk. I would come back to this blend.

My lest favorite coffee you've sent to me...My main preference is chocolaty...this is mostly a tart, fruity taste that I don't care for. Please don't send me coffees like this again.

Fruity and delicious

Strong wine notes- not my jam!
7/13/2019
The more I drink it, the less I like it.. Some bitter notes.
7/6/2019
Too Fruity.
7/2/2019
weak and tasted like bitter chemicals. Did not like at all.
6/14/2019
Mild but full tasting. No chocolate or fruitiness in particular, but gave me a nice, full grind, no drying out, the whole 2 weeks I used it.
6/2/2019
Flavor was a bit burned
5/29/2019
too acidic and bright
5/27/2019
Unbelievably sweet, with a nice jamminess when we need it and a good chocolate backbone.
2/23/2019
too citrus, light
11/10/2018
Good, familiar notes :)
10/23/2018
I enjoyed this espresso. Full flavor served as a gibraltar. Slightly sweet, but not overt. Would buy it again.

So rich and chocolatey
3/27/2018
Great start to the morning

This was a great well balanced espresso. One of my favorites thus far
11/1/2017
A robust espresso with complexity and depth. A hint of smoke without the bitterness.
9/29/2017
Better than the last one! This was smooth and kept its rich flavor in all the sip. Well balanced. No too robust nor too light. Overall, this was a great blend. But what else could I expect from my two favorite regions mixed together.
9/12/2017
not as robust, or choclatey as the Kickapoo A little more fuity than I like & most times that makes it a bit weaker ,or it makes it a little less robsut Just being picky, it's still very good
5/25/2017
This one was perfect. Dark chocolate, caramel, some fruit and floral notes. I would get this one again.
5/8/2017
Not tasty, not oily. Hard to pull consistent shot - ends up rushing through and overextracting
4/2/2017
Best tasting coffee yet. Love the smell, the taste and flavors. For me this one is 'just right'.
3/6/2017
Delicious flavor. A tad lighter / fruitier than the average espresso blend. Medium body.
2/1/2017
Really great coffee. Love the richness and the nose of the beans. Easily my favorite coffee from Mistobox!
1/27/2017
Chocolate and bitter due to a darker roast but not too bitter. Enjoyed it.
12/17/2016
Excellent all around coffee, and makes a great espresso.
11/25/2016
Favorite so far! I could drink this every day. Love the smoothness.
10/17/2016
Bright taste. Very acidic.
9/20/2016
Very nice espresso blend, the coffee is balanced with subtle fruit/flower hints. it is a darker roast without tasting burnt, acidic, or like the essential oils were roasted off.
9/7/2016
This is so good. Smooth. Sweet. Aromatic.
8/23/2016
Beautiful smell and excellent balance
6/8/2016
A very nice coffee. Notes of chocolate and earth. Well-balanced and drinkable.
5/19/2016
Just not to my liking. It's that medium roast thing.
4/2/2016
I received this espresso once before, and recall it being a bit too dark of a roast for my preference. This time it seems to be more of a medium roast, and the espresso is exceptionally sweet all on its own. Notes of fruit were detectable upon initial taste, and had a nice chocolate finish. - pulled on La Marzocco LM
3/18/2016
Lovely, balanced blend with floral hints—possibly even fruity. Very aromatic, I enjoyed it.
2/27/2016
This one is really enjoyable.
2/9/2016
This was a really nice espresso. A bit shifty at times, but when it was pulling in the zone it gave me everything I could ask for. Grind took me a bit to dial in. I liked this one better about 12 days off.
1/28/2016
Lighter roast tha usual for espresso makes the cup much more flavorful, and less dark than most. Fruit tones come through clean leaning towards stone fruits, cherry. Excellent espresso.
1/20/2016
Huge improvement over the last batch. A nice medium roast that pours beautifully. The Ethiopian notes come through loud and clear; floral with a bit of blueberry, nicely balanced acidity.
5/23/2015
Liked this one too... Smelled and tasted just delicious!
