This is a very good coffee if you're a fan of medium to full bodied coffee. There is enough acidity to bring some brightness, but it firmly sits between light and medium roast. No ashy undertones, very solid.
The only reason this coffee doesn't get 4 stars is because I feel its notes are somewhat mis-labelled. No way this coffee produces anything near "Juicy". With notes of Red Apple and Juicy, I would have expected a much brighter cup.

The coffee is really good and is true to the tasting notes. Everything with the coffee is good, but the bag from the roaster burst inside of the shipping bag so it might have lost some of its freshness. Coffee is really good, though.

Very dark and bitter. If you like strong coffee this one is for you.
7/12/2023
Very solid coffee
4/27/2023
Pretty darn good. It's sweet and slightly tart. It's got some nuttiness and body.

Produced lots of chaff using a burr grinder. Did not brew well on drip coffee setting

Surprisingly rich, sweet, and full. Big apple notes for sure, but the finish is more syrupy than I expected. Minimal earthy notes, no chalky back, lingers on the tastebuds friendly

Outstanding! Love the apple notes without the overpowering malic aftertaste
10/9/2022
This one was okay as a pour over
9/13/2022
Outstanding! I really enjoyed this one. It was bright without being too acidic. I got a feeling of roasted marshmallow at the back end. Mail brewed with an Aeropress this go around.
8/17/2022
Too acidic and bitter
7/30/2022
Really enjoyed the flavors that came through.
7/21/2022
Definitely Juicy, actually a tad juicy for my tastes.
7/21/2022
Nice flavor profile but difficult to dial in for espresso. This is more suited as a pour over coffee. I was fighting channeling with my espresso setup on this bean/roast in ways I'd never experienced before. Despite that, I was still able to enjoy it as an Americano. I certainly got the apple notes out of it
7/19/2022
Tasty too earthy for me
7/18/2022
LOVE
6/29/2022
I liked it but didn’t love it. It was very nice and sweet but lacking a bit of acidity and some more unique flavors.
6/27/2022
Really creamy. Some coffee just tastes of "coffee". This tastes like dessert. A pleasant change.
6/24/2022
I found my coffee
6/23/2022
Less apple than you would think
6/18/2022
My favorite one so far this year.
6/13/2022
Fantastic
5/27/2022
My favorite of the 3 we have received so far! Excellent choice!
5/23/2022
I expected Colombian to be over roasted, but this was very enjoyable, more like I expect from a Central American coffee. Which shows I've still a lot to learn - fun!
5/5/2022
given the reviews i really expected a fruit-forward zing. Maybe a bad batch was roasted at some point because like some other reviewers this one was harsh, bitter, and all-around unpleasant for me.
5/3/2022
Very tasty! More of this!
4/24/2022
A favorite

Not a bad coffee, but really not something that I loved either. I actually found it rather boring. The tasting notes are pretty on the nose, actually with a strong red apple front and sugar cane sweetness. However, it's just a bit out of balance in that it's heavy apple-forward, and the sweetness doesn't lead to anything. It's a really easy coffee to drink, but I just find it way too one note. Definitely not a bad coffee, but perhaps not my cup of tea.

Good not great. Not as bright as I'd like, I like the crisp finish on my coffee's if that helps at all.
3/24/2022
I’ve never had a bad cup of Tandem coffee. Thanks for including their unique approach.
3/10/2022
Not enough sweetness to it for what seemed more like a light roast.
3/5/2022
Finish is a little too harsh for me. Almost bitter tasting.
2/25/2022
It’s light but very flavorful. I love the notes and texture
2/7/2022
Maybe it was just me, but I found this one to be a little bitter. The roast is a tiny bit darker than I usually would like.
1/19/2022
excellent coffee, really enjoyed
1/14/2022
My husband and I loved this coffee; smooth, good flavor.
1/12/2022
Pretty good!
1/4/2022
Good Coffee very smooth light acidity
12/23/2021
Very good, has a sweet finish
11/6/2021
Like the fruity taste
10/26/2021
This was several weeks ago, so the memory of specific taste is absent at the moment, but I do remember enjoy this one.
9/23/2021
Really delicious coffee; tart with a sweet finish. Enjoyed brewing in my Hario.
9/22/2021
Good apple and sugar notes with a nice aroma. Had a hard time getting a lot of body out of it.
9/21/2021
This coffee took 6 days in transit, so it's possible the hot Texas summer had already ruined it before it arrived at my house. I'd like to try it closer to the source. In any case, what I received was not great; notes of black tea and lemongrass, with a sharp acidity and rough finish. Note that this is a very dense bean, so extract with finer grinds, higher temps, and bed agitation (if applicable to your method).
8/31/2021
A good coffee. I had to increase the amount to get enough flavor for me.
8/8/2021
One of the best ones so far
8/7/2021
Really nice flavor. Smooth and easy drinking
8/6/2021
Brewed with V60. Definitely tasted red apple notes, good amount of sweetness. Overall, enjoyed coffee.
7/31/2021
When hot the coffee is a little bitter and doesn't have the best aftertaste. After it cools a little bit some of the more fruity flavor comes out, but it is very subtle. I prefer stronger flavors.
7/9/2021
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. I've not had great luck with Columbian coffees in the past, but this was very flavorful and smooth.
6/30/2021
This has likely been our favorite coffee so far. The bright flavors with the full bodied taste have been easy to brew and pleasant to drink each and every time. It has a lot of the fruit forward flavors which we tend to enjoy.
6/29/2021
Awesome coffee!
6/26/2021
Really nice coffee with deep honey and molasses tastes.
6/20/2021
Really great coffee - I can't always pick up the same notes that the roaster describes, but in this case the suggested notes of red apple and sugar cane were incredibly obvious and delicious.
6/15/2021
Looking for something fruitier
6/12/2021
Love the acidity, but my wife is almost killed me. We need to lower down the acidity level. And use more seasonal coffee. I mean countries like Rwanda, Burundi,Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, Honduras.
Please advice best from any of the following:
1) Rwanda Nyampinga Women's Cooperative - SISTERS
2) Rwanda Tumba - Camber
3) Burundi Nemba - Verve
4) Burundi Turihamwe - Temple
5) Honduras Las Capucas - Coava
6) Brazil Sitio Baixadão - Sisters
7) Brazil Sitio Santo Antonio - Huckleberry
8) Peru Yoel Samaniego - Ruby

Really good combo of what my wife likes and me. Totally happy with it! But my favorites are def more fruity.
5/29/2021
Decent but didn't blow my mind.
5/29/2021
Typical Tandem - they knocked it our of the park.
4/4/2021
Excellent, one of my favorites
4/2/2021
Smooth and light from the start. I did find the sugar cane and red apple notes and would get this again.
3/18/2021
Good, but nothing really interesting or exciting about the flavor profile.
3/8/2021
Very acidic aftertaste which overtakes any of the coffee flavor. Not a fan....
2/16/2021
We made this coffee freshly ground in a french press making roughly 32oz at a time.
Overall we liked this blend, but I will say it was a tad bit too bitter for my liking. It also seemed to be higher in caffeine then other blends I've had. Sometimes I could not complete a fully cup due to getting overcaffeinated/jittery.
Compared to the Blueboon, this was more bitter and a little too caffeinated.
Flavor was great though and I would drink it again, maybe just using less beans in each press.

Excellent. Best so far. Better than San Sebastian.
1/12/2021
It’s unfortunate the coffee never arrived at my house. Due to COVID and the holiday season
12/16/2020
Loving this as a pour over.
12/15/2020
This was an amazing coffee! Super sweet and crisp, and when made on the Gold standard on my brewer, just amazing to sip it black. Really enjoyed the juicy sugarcane note and overall a great coffee. Absolutely loved it!
12/7/2020
Meh.
