This has been my favorite so far. My wife describes it as "sour" and I think I see what she means, but I'd describe it as "tangy." It doesn't feel "juicy" to me, but if that's what you'd cal it, then that's what I like.

One of the best coffees we have gotten so far. GREAT!! Thank you!
2/13/2020
Enjoyed this for something different, but was probably just a little on the too fruity side for our preferences. Probably would prefer something a little nuttier (like Morning Sun and/or Klatch Colombia)
2/11/2020
This one was good, but not great.
2/7/2020
It is good on Aeropress, nothing to write home about but a decent standard cup.
2/3/2020
This is best coffee we've had. Simply amazing.
1/24/2020
A bit more acidic than most of the Ethiopian coffees I've had; normally my very favorite region, but this one just wasn't my favorite.
1/23/2020
great flavor, true to the description of blueberry,
will be a favorite for sure

Smells very strong, with some machine olive notes. 'aggressive' taste.
12/27/2019
I brewed this coffee with a French Press and as espresso. With the Press the cup was sweet and delightful. As espresso, the Ethiopian flavors were very apparent.
12/23/2019
Very good coffee. Lots of distinct fruity flavors. Very exotic and not something you expect when smelling the beans.
12/9/2019
A little overpowering on the fruitiness
12/7/2019
Nice coffee! Not too light but not too dark. Just as advertised.
12/2/2019
Pretty good, we have to brew it a bit stronger to get all of the flavor. Are there any unwashed available?
12/1/2019
Good smooth cup of coffee. Berry flavor is strong. Almost more of a dessert coffee.
11/30/2019
Decent. The most notable thing was the very noticable and palatable blueberry overtone that we enjoyed when we first brewed this coffee (in fact we thought it was flavored coffee at first). This note of blueberry did not come across with subsequent brewings which was a tad disappointing,
11/24/2019
Not for me
11/23/2019
This was the first bag that I have actually thrown away without completely using all the beans. Both my wife and I could not stand the after taste of these beans. It tasted moldy to us.
11/17/2019
pretty dark
11/13/2019
Wow, this coffee is remarkable! I don't always hop on and leave a review on my recent shipment, but this one is well worth it. It's delicious berry notes are similar to other ethiopian beans I've tried before, but it's much more mild and sweet, not too bright or sour tasting as I've found with others that can have juicy nuances. 18g per pour-over has been doing me just right. Thanks for this yummy selection!
11/8/2019
Really tasty - surprised as I usually don’t think I’d like blueberry notes but was delightful
11/6/2019
Unpleasant,almost rancid, odor. Bitter tasting when poured through a Chemex. Overall low quality compared to other varieties I've been receiving.
10/24/2019
I don’t know how to describe it, but there is something distinctly off about several of the coffees I’ve had from Dillanos. If possible, I’d like to remove DCR from my future shipments.
10/22/2019
Did not like this at all, there was a pungent flavor that we did not like.
10/22/2019
Tasted good. Between Klatch and DCR, I liked Klatch better.
10/20/2019
Thought I’d like this more. Nice and a bit above the Columbian Morning Sun selection above, I like a more crisp finish than perhaps either of these have.
10/9/2019
Really tasty. Full and bright with an undertone of juicy berries. Really enjoyable!
9/27/2019
crisp, blueberry muffin
9/11/2019
Really good and bold Ethiopia. Over whelming blueberry flavor at times. Really enjoyed
9/7/2019
I love the twist at the end. The blackberry flavor comes through and I enjoy the fuller body
9/7/2019
Super solid Ethiopian. Good flavors, not too acidic.. Trying out in the cold brew as well.
8/28/2019
Great taste and enjoyable
8/27/2019
Fairly intense blueberry flavor. Darker roast than I would have liked. Mediocre coffee in general
8/24/2019
Blueberry notes are strong. Definitely full-bodied. Not an everyday coffee for me but really nice departure for a change.
8/18/2019
I do not like anything from this roaster
8/6/2019
Enjoyed the bright flavor and juicy notes. Smooth finish
7/11/2019
This coffee, as it was delivered to me, was way over-roasted. Though it's marked as a "medium-roast" this coffee is a dark roast, no question. The flavor of char and ash are overpowering and drown out any of the fruity goodness I was excited to get out of this Ethiopian coffee. Honestly quite disappointed.
7/8/2019
Solid!
7/2/2019
enjoyed this one more as we drank it. felt earth/peaty at first, but later got the blueberry notes
7/2/2019
Again, surprised by how much I liked this coffee with hints of flavor when overalll I do NOT like flavoring in my coffee. Rich and no hint of bitterness. Great cup of hot coffee with a french press.
6/30/2019
Two stars for being over roasted to a point where all you taste is smoke. Subtract another for shipping it four days after than the roast date. Borderline undrinkable it was so bad.
6/20/2019
The roast is pretty dark, dark enough to smoke out any other part of the flavor profile described on the bag or here on the dashboard.
6/6/2019
Gorgeous, Evaluated as espresso. Rich berry flavors and smooth as silk. Lovely full body.
5/28/2019
Loved it
5/25/2019
A little on the sweet side but still very smooth and easy to drink.
5/7/2019
Beans were all over the place as far as size and roast. Took some time dialing in pourover to get a good balance of roast and fruit notes. In the end, little bit of blackberry/blueberry and a very nice full-bodied coffee.
4/26/2019
excellent!
4/24/2019
Absolutely fantastic coffee, best I've had in quite a while. Nice body and strong blueberry notes. Made in a Chemex @ 1:15 ratio.
4/18/2019
I really like the flavor of this berries in this one.
4/13/2019
Could definitely taste the blueberry. That came through for sure. It was interesting and a nice change of pace. It was not your typical "fruity" notes but I'm not sure that it was really my thing.
4/10/2019
Light-bodied but strong. A bit of astringency, not especially smooth. Michael's favorite, he loves it - order again!
4/6/2019
I am a fan of African coffees, but this one was odorless and tasteless to me. YMMV, but I was not very happy with it in my Saeco automatic.
4/6/2019
This was great! Really appreciated the berry flavors and fruitiness. It was medium to light and really enjoyed it.
4/4/2019
One of my new Favorites
4/4/2019
Has a pleasant aroma of muddled clove and brown sugar.
There is a mild sweetness to it with a hint of berries. Very mild in my opinion. I'm not able to pull any citrus/sour/acidic aftertaste to it which is disappointing as I prefer that to balance the sweetness with. Almost no bitterness at the end either.
Overall a decent brew, but would like it to be a bit more acidic.
Drank it hot/black as a V60 pourover.

Flavor was a little bit too strong, but overall good taste and feel.
3/30/2019
This roast is too light for my tastes.
3/20/2019
I think the coffee is fine, but my husband does not like the berry taste.
3/16/2019
This was excellent. I normally am not a fan of African coffees and never drink it black and yet this one was easy for me to drink black. Very good and juicy but not strong on the berry flavors for me.
3/12/2019
Loved the hints of blueberry; definitely a lot more noticeable than I originally though it would be.
3/6/2019
The cold brew of these beans almost tastes like bad alcohol. The tastes are strong, but I hate them all.
3/5/2019
Crazy fruity and fragrant. An awesome Ethiopian.
3/2/2019
Felt like I had to wait several days for this coffee to taste like it is supposed to, Not sure how I feel about natural wash either, Im still pretty new to coffee and found the flavor a bit abnormal. I would be up to try another one after a few months.
2/27/2019
I’m sure this is a good coffee but I don’t find the blueberry taste pleasant at all.
2/26/2019
Would rate higher if I liked medium roasts more
2/22/2019
Really enjoyed the fruity notes.
2/19/2019
wait sorry haven't gotten this one yet. meant that review for the one before
2/19/2019
A little darker than I was expecting
2/15/2019
Too floral/fruity tasting. Very smooth
2/12/2019
This is a delicious coffee! The prominent berry flavors make each cup a mixed berry pie -- a slice of summer in February. Definitely one of my favorites so far.
2/11/2019
Really enjoyed the fruit notes on this one.
2/8/2019
I found my first brew a tad sour, but next I brewed at 195 F and the sour disappeared. I tasted mostly blackberry and enjoyed its fuller mouth feel.
2/7/2019
Really good cup of coffee. Blackberry and blueberry really shined through from the aroma to the flavor. Had a nice chocolate flavor that rounded it out really well. Was my girlfriends favorite coffee from mistobox so far.
1/31/2019
Too light, too fruity. We did not enjoy the taste
1/29/2019
Ok. Not as fruity as I’d like
1/28/2019
Really disliked this one. It smelled great but was much too fruity for my tastes.
1/25/2019
This was very berry as advertised with a great body too. I really like this cup, but would also like to try a few others with similar body, but less fruit forward. The cup finished very well!
1/24/2019
Everything I expect and hope for from an Ethiopian bean. Incredibly juicy big blueberry and blackberry flavors. Slightly acidic.
1/22/2019
Excellent flavors, very pronounced, fruity
1/20/2019
Good coffee lots of berry notes
1/17/2019
Insane berry notes! Cold brewed, the nose is even stronger.
1/15/2019
This coffee was great. I didn't give it 5 stars as I'm reserving that for what would be my "Top 5 best coffees".
I liked the fruity taste to it, but for my next coffee, and I'm looking for an earthy, bold flavor. Looking forward to hearing your recommendations!

1/14/2019
I liked the sweet blow followed by a full body aftertaste.
1/13/2019
I find that I really love and look forward to the Ethiopian coffees like this, with their bold flavor and berry notes. I really enjoy this one, and could drink it daily! Definitely a 5-star for me.
1/13/2019
Amazing Beans! Love everything about it.
1/7/2019
Great, loved the notes of blackberry and blueberry
12/29/2018
I never thought I had a coffee that was too fruity.... Until this.
12/23/2018
I really like this coffee, it's smooth and for lack of a better phrase, bursting with blueberry flavor. I'd say it was more of a fun than everyday coffee, but again, very tasty!
12/23/2018
This has a darker burnt taste that is a turn off, although i've definitely had worst tasting coffees.
12/20/2018
Great flavor
12/18/2018
it is good....but a little more bitter...could be a grind issue
12/17/2018
Loved it. Definitely tasted the blueberry. Very fun coffee
12/15/2018
This coffee has an aftertaste that I do not enjoy. Almost tanic in nature.
12/13/2018
Excellent flavor. My favorite coffee you guys have sent.
12/12/2018
No matter how we brewed it, it tasted kind of watery and lacked punch.
12/12/2018
AMAZING!! Best coffee I've received from mistobox so far! The fruitiness is very pronounced yet is still very balanced.
12/9/2018
indifferent to this... i'll drink it but mostly to just get rid of the beans
11/29/2018
Prefer lighter roasts
11/25/2018
Love this coffee. Rich yet smooth.
11/21/2018
I've brewed about five Ethiopian coffees in a row. All prior to this were good with fruit-forward flavors no matter the brew method or grind. This one tastes like aspirin and tin foil. I've never had an Ethiopian without the slightest hint of fruit in it. It's so non-fruity and bitter that I question if the bag contains the right coffee or if I got a defective roast or something. After several brew attempts, I figured out it's decent if I sift the grounds first and then do a full immersion brew. It's a huge hassle and still not the least bit fruity or sweet but at least I can finish the bag.
11/21/2018
I would drink this fruit loop-y coffee erry day.
11/19/2018
Too dark.
11/17/2018
Coffe is not our style, what we've noticed is there is a particular note in some coffees that has a sour taste. I cannot pinpoint a common denominator but it was heavy in this particular roast.
11/16/2018
This was hands down the best cup of coffee to date with this subscription. There is so much blueberry and blackberry notes on both the aroma and taste its not even funny. I cannot express how much I enjoyed this coffee. Please send me more like this one!
11/13/2018
The fruit notes were very present, I liked that a lot. I don't think it's been my favorite, but if you want something that is very fruit-forward and almost tart, this is the one.
11/13/2018
Smells incredible. Great taste as well. Love the berry notes and smells. Less caffeine than I'm used to which is probably a good thing. Very very good coffee.
11/7/2018
This! This hit the target on the money. I'd be happy to drink this forever. It has the perfect note of fruitiness while throwing in a whole range of holiday spice flavors. It's so complex yet still smooth to the palate. Literally perfect.
11/4/2018
Way too fruity for me, also left a bad after taste. Not a fan.
11/4/2018
Excellent cup of coffee and a nice change of pace from my previous flavor profiles.
