Pretty good coffee, but I felt like it was a little challenging to dial in – it's a recurring problem I have with Natural process coffees.

Another pretty boring medium/light roast. I'm not sure why anyone wants to over roast naturally processed beans like this. When I close my eyes and try really hard I get notes of strawberry and graham cracker, which is pretty cool. But it's so far in the background that it doesn't hold my interest. This is yet another above average restaurant coffee, but below average craft roast. At least it doesn't taste burnt as many medium and dark roasts tend to do, so credit where credit is due.

Not a big fan of naturals, but this was good.

Fine but not as fruity, and bright, funky as I am looking for. Not to say this is a bad coffee though for others who might like this profile. Just not for me.

Very interesting with accurate notes and a good bit of fruity funk to it.

So so. Not the best IMO.

Good. Great aroma that doesn't translate as strongly to the flavor as I'd hoped. Still a good coffee.

The strawberry notes were amazing.. this roast was good from the beginning to my last cup.. tried this through a v-60 and Chemex.. think that this is seriously amazing.. so far “cat and cloud.” Is an amazing coffee company and i am very impressed!

Really enjoyed this one

Fantastic notes of blueberries! Love that natural processing. Makes a really good pour over at relatively high pour temps (94-95 C), but also does a ridiculously tasty cold brew. Highly enjoyable; best coffee from Mistobox yet!

A little more bitter than I was hoping

A real stand out

Really potent aroma and strong berry flavor. The roast is perfect also. Really outstanding cup of coffee! Made with a pour over and with an AeroPress. Both methods produced an outstanding cup.

Great for Pour Over

Not as good as I was hoping. Don't really taste any chocolate and not necessarily strawberry either. I'd saw just fruity. Off my list ,hope the next coffee is better.

Tasty morning coffee, definitely balanced flavor, slightly sweet.

This coffee is light and delicate great pour-over style. Notes to me are lightly floral with a subtle chocolate finish. It is great black and I also enjoyed with light sugar and a little milk. It however was not deep enough in flavor to be used as espresso.

'Balanced' is a good description of this roast. General chocolate notes are at the forefront of this roast. Brewed as pour over at 94C.
UPDATE: As I drank more cups I noticed a bit of a burnt taste to it. Not strong, but present. I wonder if the roast was a little too dark for a typical run of medium roast, or if that's native to Cat & Cloud roasters. Not my preference, but still palatable.

It's probably the least liked that I've had so far.

No flavor - very plain
2/5/2021
Not a fan of the strawberry flavor. Reminds me of the blueberry one but not as good. Maybe I just don’t like berries in my coffee....

Amazing black - not acidic at all

Just what we wanted. Nice fruity coffee, but no bitterness.

Strong notes of strawberry jam. A really beautifully roasted coffee. This is exactly the kind of coffee I’m looking for.

Could not get much of the fruity notes out of this one. Tastes better in a latte than it does via pour over. Not a fan.
12/9/2020
At times the notes blended together but it was still a delicious cup.
9/19/2020
Wonderful cup. Both fruity and chocolaty -smell sip and enjoy

Quite simply the best and most consistent coffee we have received from Mistobox. Chris Baca going hard!

I liked this coffee a lot. I could really taste the strawberry flavor in it.
8/11/2020
Ok, not as flavorful as last month. Not a favorite
8/4/2020
It's ok. I'm just not a fan of light roasts
6/30/2020
Very good. Subtle notes without being overpowering.
4/11/2020
Just as described - outstanding fruity flavors without being too acidic/light-bodied.
3/15/2020
Good cup, but was flat, nothing really stood out.
Tried on the following brewers: V60, Aeropress, Delter Press.
Had better flavor on the Delter Press and Aeropress.
Good coffee, but already forgotten.

Enjoyable, very balanced coffee. One of my favorites.

Not bad, but just okay. No flavor profiles really stood out.

The strawberry is a little too forward for our taste, but for someone with a sweet tooth this would be a lovely compliment to a shortbread. Really interesting.
1/19/2020
I think that this was a too acidic for me. I would have said grapefruit more than strawberry, and it's less balanced than this review would indicate.
