Very muddy and unbalanced. Brewed this a few different ways (chemex, kalita, stagg x) and struggled to get a smooth cup.

Terribly bitter, tossed it out.

Everyone loved this coffee. It’s really smooth and has a great hint of coco.

So good!

This is a dark roast and tastes like it. I can't believe it was picked for someone with my profile.
7/1/2019
Awful, over roasted, tastes like Starbucks. All smoke and bitter. Destined for the trash.

Great coffee. Loved the body and once I figured out how to brew it, had a great chocolate/cocoa flavor.

Not my favorite

Incredible

Solid cup. The flavor and aroma match the notes on the bag; you get cocoa, caramel, and roasted almonds throughout. It's not over the top. Just a really well balanced cup.

really enjoyed the rich almond like taste. Very different from what I have been using in the past and found to like it better. the bean roast was just right
10/26/2018
This was one of my least favorite cups to drink. I found it to be bitter and heavy on the earthy side. I tried varying water temp, grind size, and brew time with my french press but could not find a winning combination.
9/6/2018
Not my favorite, make it pour-over style, and find it too strong, or harsh to drink black. Have adjusted the amount of coffee used, cutting back to see if it helped, and it was better. This may be just too strong a coffee for my palate.
9/6/2018
Not bad. A little on the bitter/sour side. Brewed French press (40 g in 32 oz 200F water) and 25g 12 oz pour over.
8/26/2018
Gorgeous - tart, rich, bittersweet. love this one.
8/21/2018
Just okay.
6/23/2018
Good flavor at first, enjoyed the almond notes. Lingering bitter aftertaste, over roasted flavor. The bag itself was beautiful, especially inside.
6/23/2018
Great at the first sip, pure coffee, overlaid with chocolate and caramel under laid with acid to add zing, but the sour, even slight charcoal, aftertaste lingers long after the cup is empty. (Sorry for my inadequate vocabulary--you're obviously not going to hire me to do copy). Although the beans do not appear so, maybe a bit over-roasted?
A day or two later, lots more cups and I can't get over the contrast between how good the first sip is and how bitter the aftertaste is. The "almond" flavor must derive from the husks, which are decidedly bitter, so your description is accurate.
Not to add more spam, but had time to look at the roast--the bitter aftertaste could easily have come from the roast. Wonder how great the coffee could have been with a lighter roast . . .

Good but unremarkable.
6/1/2018
This one I chose from the coffee list and I think I will go back to letting our terrific curator pick for us! Not our favorite.
5/26/2018
Over roasted.
5/12/2018
very bitter finish, undrinkable, going into the trash
4/7/2018
A bit too earthy and dry tasting for my taste.
3/28/2018
Hard to find a good balance between underextracting and overextracting, and not very exciting flavor notes.
3/23/2018
Good coffee but hard to follow the Cafe La Vita. Feels flat instead of rich and round.
3/14/2018
Loved it
3/6/2018
I love Tony's and this was a great coffee.
2/28/2018
This one tastes more dark than medium
2/16/2018
Very flavorful coffee. Still trying to get the right grind in order to get the best results with a Chemex. Definitely one of my favorites.
2/13/2018
Love it! Didn't think I'd like a coffee from the Americas this much.
2/7/2018
Good cup of coffee. Bold. Almonds were apparent. Caramel not as much, but if you used your imagination, you can see what they are saying. I would love something a little more unique/different than this one because it is more in line with what I normally drink(darker, bold, strong). I could be interested in an ethopian coffee or a columbian. I have tried some columbia coffee that was exceptional. Looking for more of a medium blend with relaxing tones for the morning before work. Thank you very much.

Not a fan
1/21/2018
Loved this! Perfect balance of strong, earthly flavor but also not too acidic.
1/19/2018
Love this coffee!! Excellent notes of coco and almonds. It's a dark roast, but doesn't leave you with bitter or over roasted flavors. One of my favorites from this site!
1/6/2018
Rich and approachable indeed. My girlfriend's favourite coffee since this bag was sent to us.
12/30/2017
Too dark and bitter.
12/21/2017
Of all the Mexican coffees I've tasted, this one has to be my favorite. Almost like drinking into an almonds Turtle bar.
12/17/2017
This is an incredible coffee with a rich flavor and subtle hints of cocoa. Although it has a strong flavor, there's no hint of bitterness or off-flavors which makes it a perfect morning cup.
12/14/2017
Rich flavors
11/21/2017
Tastes a little more darkly roasted. Wonderfully rich and smooth and sippable.
11/20/2017
Tasty
11/17/2017
Good some good, over powered by too much smoke and dark/burnt taste
11/17/2017
Oily and over roasted. Tasted like cigarette smoke and sadness in a cup.
11/14/2017
Deep flavor - could taste the chocolate and nut
11/12/2017
Great flavor! Loved it
11/12/2017
bad taste or over-roasted, can't remember, but would not want again.
11/8/2017
This might be my favorite one I have received so far. Really good.
11/2/2017
Loved this one! Smooth and yummy!

I don't like
10/31/2017
Excellent coffee
10/31/2017
Goes down easy
10/30/2017
Too dark, not an enjoyable flavor at all — even to those in the house with darker palettes.
10/29/2017
Pretty good but nothing really stands out.
10/27/2017
Amazing coffee!!!
10/25/2017
I think this may be one of my favorites, the roasted almonds is spot on and I'm actually picking up some tobacco notes which I like.
10/25/2017
Love the richness and smoothness of this bean and roast
10/24/2017
Good
10/18/2017
