The strong fruit and cocao notes on the front end are balanced well by the acidity on the back. Really enjoyable cup.

Excellent aroma and fruity flavor. Notes of strawberry and blueberry were rampant.

Very crisp, well distinguished acidity. Bright, interesting, and charming. Highly aromatic and flavorful.

Have always enjoyed the coffees I've gotten from Myanmar, but this one is definitely more of a medium roast than a light roast. As other reviewers have mentioned, it can be a little finicky, but I find that to be the case with a lot of the medium roasts I try.

This was my least favorite coffee I've ever received through Mistobox. I tried brewing it in a variety of different ways and could never get the flavor right. It always tasted flat and ended up masking with milk, spices and sweetener to get through it.

This coffee is very strange but worth the interest being an Asian novelty. Musty and dank. Try it.

Fruitier than expected from this region. Loved it. Jammy, dark fruit, full bodied, and interesting.

Never made a bad cup. Creamy coffee with flavor notes as clear as day.

Fantastic! Love the fact that East Asian coffee are finally getting some notice. Mild acidity, taste reminded me of a glass of merlot.

Surprisingly fast draw down, and low brew times with my pourover setup. Even though it's difficult to brew right, the flavors are worth it. Delicious coffee!

It was the worst tasting coffee I've had so far. I absolutely do not like anything from Asia. Please don't send anymore from Asia.

Salty, fruity, and a bit musty. Myanmar has potential for good beans but I’d give it another 3 yrs before trying their coffee again.
